The Rock And A Hard Place

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, 'Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.' Daniel 3:16 WEB
Standing before the most powerful king on earth, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had a decision to make. Obeying the king would be directly disobeying God's command to have no other gods. Disobeying the king would land them in a burning furnace. They were caught between The Rock and a hard place.
King Nebuchadnezzar had built a golden idol ninety feet high and commanded everyone in his kingdom to bow down and worship it. Three Israelites refused and told him that God was able to deliver them, but even if He did not, they would not serve his god. When faced with evil and certain destruction, they chose to trust God and they stood strong in their faith. In the end, God did deliver them and they were promoted.
When in the darkness, it's not time to whine, but time to shine. When you have done all that you can, stand, and believe that God will take care of the rest. And even if He does not, you will do what is right. In the end, you will find that God always does what is best for you. Be calm, be patient, God is not dead, and this too will pass. If you do go into the furnace, God will meet you there.

Sometimes we are faced with choosing Gods will in a seemingly small choice. Those decisions will either erode the connection to God or broaden the path to Him. Over time the drip of choices either builds a greater connection or erodes it. I was faced with a job prospect a couple days ago that could have given me more money each month but I felt the tug of God to say no and stay at the helm of my little business. I feel at peace that I choose the right path.
Amen!

Jesus,please keep me strong for your will.I love you. Amen
I have learned to praise Him in the storms and to thank Him for the trials. Even when it "seems" so hopeless, I have learned God is shaking things up for my good. As I lean on Him in prayer and with fasting and as I sing songs of praise and rejoice in Him, my storms feel a lot less powerful and my trials are only hurdles in a marathon race. He strengthens me to push forward against the wind and to fight the good fight. He enables me to put on the armor of God and to keep on as a prayer warrior and His humble servant. He is the refiner and as I am crushed and pressed in His vise, He makes me a diamond out of dust.
Amen
