MEN OF GOD ARE DETERMINED
Daniel 3:17,18
If it be so, our GOD, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Job 13:15,16
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will defend mine own ways before Him. He also shall be my salvation; for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
The people of GOD are determined, fixed, faithful and know that they are accountable to GOD alone. Even in the face of death by the fiery furnace, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not bow down to a false god, nor worship any other god. There heart was fixed and faithful to the one true and only GOD; the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Job had said, when faced with total destruction in his personal life, that he would trust GOD and serve Him even if it meant death.
The question hangs heavy in this devotional today: Who will you bow down to and worship? To whom are you accountable, who is your god or GOD? When you are asked to bow down to a strange god, will you stand firm and say, with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, "we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up"?
Daily, the temptation arises to bow down to other gods. Daily, we must say "no" and daily state, in boldness and in great faith; "We serve the living and true GOD and Him alone do we serve".
BE DETERMINED, DARING, DIFFERENT AND YOU WILL BE DELIVERED.
