If you are unable to see it on Facebook, it says,
“The Bible NEVER says Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego saw the Fourth Man in the fiery furnace. It was King Nebuchadnezzar, the one who threw them in, who looked and said, “Wait… I see FOUR men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!” (Daniel 3:25)
Just because YOU can’t see Him right now doesn’t mean He’s not there. The enemy may be the only one who can clearly see Jesus standing right in the middle of your fire with you.
Maybe you feel your marriage shaking, finances burning, health failing, kids struggling, anxiety roaring like a furnace seven times hotter than normal. You’ve cried out, “God, where are You? I can’t feel You, I can’t see You!”
The Fourth Man is IN the fire. He never left.
Stop trusting your five senses and start trusting the Father. You can’t see Him in your fire, but He’s standing right there.
Hold on, Shadrach. Hold on, Meshach. Hold on, Abednego.
God is with you in the fire” ~Baron Carson
Daniel 3 is the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I went back and read it. Baron is right. It never says that they saw Jesus in the fire. It only states that Nebuchadnezzar saw Him.
Whatever you are going through, please remember that He has promised never to leave us or forsake us even when we cannot see Him.
What a tremendous truth to meditate on this week!
