Today I felt impressed to read Daniel chapter 3. Imagine my surprise as I started to read the portion of scripture where the three Hebrew children had been thrown into the fiery furnace!
Last week, at the Summons to Sacrifice, Bro. Gerald Jeffers made a statement, "Promotion Always Comes by Fire".
As I continued to read in that chapter of Daniel, I neared the end and verse 30 suddenly jumped out at me. It's simple words state "The the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon." What a tremendous example of three people who stood for their God, the truth and their calling, defying all the odds. They had to pass through the fire not once, but twice. Once in the fire they received anointing, and knew that the angel of the Lord was with them. Nevertheless, though in the midst of their impossible situation, God miraculously brought them out, and in the end divinely promoted them!
What an incredible truth this is! Let this be a challenge to us today, to stand even in the fire, and then see the salvation of the Lord!
