Part two of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who refused to worship King
Nebuchadnezzar's gods. They were willing to bow down to only the one true
God. "Then the princes, governors, captains, and
counselors crowded around them and saw that the fire hadn't touched
them---not a hair of their heads was singed, their coats were unscorched, and
they didn't even smell of smoke!" Bible
Commentary: These young men were completely untouched
by the fire and heat. No scorch mark was found on them, they didn't even
smell of smoke! Only the rope that bound them had been burned. No human can
bind us if God wants us to be free. The power available to us is the same
that delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and raised Christ from the
dead. Trust God in the midst of every trial. There are eternal reasons for
temporary trials, we can be thankful that our destiny in God's hands, not
man's."
