Daniel 3: 24-28| King James Audio Bible | Powerful Prayer

‘Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.’ (Daniel 3:24-28, KJV)

Explanation Of Context | Love Revealed By Jesus

In this account, King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, three faithful Hebrews, to be thrown into a fiery furnace as punishment for refusing to bow down to the golden idol he had erected. Miraculously, when the three were thrown into the furnace, the king witnessed a fourth person walking with them, whom he described as being like the Son of God. The men remained unharmed by the flames, and Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the power of the God of Israel, recognizing that an angel had delivered the three Hebrews from the fiery ordeal.

Reflection – God’s Faithfulness In Times Of Persecution | Meditations On The Love Of Jesus Christ

The story of the angel and the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace speaks of God’s faithfulness and protection for those who remain steadfast in their devotion to Him, even in the face of persecution and adversity. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego chose to remain faithful to the one true God and refused to bow down to an idol, despite the grave consequences.

The presence of the fourth person in the furnace, whom Nebuchadnezzar described as being like the Son of God, signifies God’s intimate involvement and protection in the midst of trials. This account assures us that God does not abandon His faithful servants when they face challenges; instead, He walks with us through the fire, shielding us from harm.

In our lives, we may encounter trials, opposition, or even persecution for standing firm in our faith. Yet, this story encourages us to trust that God is with us, providing strength, courage, and protection as we face the flames. Just as He delivered the three Hebrews from the fiery furnace, God is our ever-present help in times of trouble.

  • Christian Prayer | George Herbert | Temple

    The poem explores themes of divine presence, spiritual longing, and human instability. The poem opens with a stark reflection on the transient nature of spiritual joy and the sudden void that follows when such joy is absent. Herbert questions the disappearance of an overwhelming sense of divine joy that had recently consumed his heart, seeking an explanation or resolution from God. This inquiry sets the stage for a meditation on the balance between divine grace and human imperfection [ … ]

  • Audio Bible | Jesus | The Transfiguration

    As they travel on the way to Jerusalem, Jesus throws his disciples into confusion by telling them about the suffering and death he must undergo. The disciples simply do not understand. For centuries, the Jews have awaited the coming of the Messiah, whom they envisaged as a glorious warrior king, not as one who would suffer and die the most ignominious of deaths, on a cross, of all things. A person condemned to die on a cross could not be the Messiah; rather, according to the Old Law, he had to be “cursed by God” (Deuteronomy 21: 22-23). The disciples cannot see the divine plan for our salvation, while the command for all who would be saved to ‘take up his cross and follow me’ must have seemed both strange and terrifying. To reassure his disciples, Jesus allows them to witness his glorious body through the transfiguration [ … ]

  • George Herbert | Temple | Poem | Humilitie | Audio

    The poem describes a vivid allegory in which the Virtues are portrayed as a courtly assembly, seated in an orderly hierarchy, with Humility occupying the lowest but most crucial position. The scene is set on an ‘azure throne’, emphasizing the elevated and celestial nature of these qualities. Around this throne, animals and birds bring symbolic tokens, illustrating their inherent traits and how these can be transformed or appropriated by the Virtues. The interplay between the virtues, the animals, and the chaos that ensues offers a meditation on the delicate harmony required to maintain moral order, the dangers of pride and discontent, and the reconciling power of humility [ … ]
