Faith Under Pressure

October 8, 2007

How is your faith that God is going to bring you through any thing that you can be put through. In the book of Daniel we hear of an amazing example of faith.

Dan 3:16-18 Complete Apostles' Bible
(16) Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego answered and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, We have no need to answer you concerning this matter.
(17) For our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He shall rescue us from your hands, O king.
(18) But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, neither will we worship the image which you have set up.


Is your faith so strong that you can know that even if you got thrown in the fire God could pull you out of it? And how about that even if He did not, you would not do wrong.

Years ago a preacher said in a sermon I was listening to: 'if you put a tea-bag in hot water, you will not get Coca-Cola. What is in you will come out of you when the pressure is on.' These young men did not get this way in a moment when things started happening. They had been training themselves for a long time. The time to prepare for the bad times in your life is when the good times are here. Take time to get into the Word. It pays back dividends.
