An Impasse: the Valley of the Shadow of Death

on behalf of 9-21-2014

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18 NIV)

regardless of whether or not the Lord delivered them from their struggles, they had faith and were determined to do that which they knew God desired for them.

on that note, it is regardless of the outcome that I should love and follow the Lord my God. even if things dont work out perfectly as a result of that path. he is there watching and guarding me inhospitable own special way. I need not be afraid. for the Lord is my God and even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death he will stay with me.
