Unbound & Unharmed

Have you ever found yourself in the fire?

Maybe you’re in one now—experiencing great pain and difficulty with no sign of escape.

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were put into the fiery furnace, it was so hot, the soldiers who threw them in died.

That’s one bad fire…

Yet, God did not abandon Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Although they found themselves in the fire, God was there with them.

The king and the others who were present to witness the execution saw something completely unexpected…

They were “unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed!” (Daniel 3.25 NLT)

Unbound and unharmed.

Walking around in the fire.

I’ve been in the fire before and it wouldn’t surprise me if I found myself in the fire again.

My prayer is that when I’m in the fire, I will be seen walking around—unbound and unharmed.

“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE FIRE of oppression, YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED UP; THE FLAMES WILL NOT CONSUME YOU. For I am the Lord your God.” (Isaiah 43.1-3 NLT)
