Powerful Words from the Prophets
But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?” “Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did,” they replied. “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!” – Daniel 3:24-25 (NLT)
“Do People See God in YOUR Fire?”

And the fourth looks like a god!” – Daniel 3:24-25 (NLT)
“Do People See God in YOUR Fire?”
I have a booklet of poems and prose that were written by a woman who was in our church in Phoenix. Let me share a few verses from one of them: “Lord, Your love is the joy that springs in my quiet thought, the Silent Voice my heart understands…the healing touch of Your Word shaping my soul. Your love is the strength I receive in Your holy embrace…my crown of gold. Your love draws my shyness to boldness and settles my heart within its place—within the warmth and safety of Your hand, that I may sing to You my song of praise!”
The incredible thing about this woman was not just the beautiful words she wrote or feelings she captured. It was that she wrote all of this while her body suffered greatly from a variety of illnesses and diseases. Everyone who knew her was in awe of her testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness. She didn’t whine, complain, or say, “Why me?” even though she had every reason to. Her faith and rest in God humbled me. You could see Him EVERYWHERE in her life.
When the king gave way to his rage and threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the furnace of fire, I’m sure he expected begging, pleading, crying, and screaming. He didn’t get any of that. As he watched, he saw something strange, something unexpected, something unlike anything he’d ever witnessed before. He saw a Fourth Man in the fire. He saw the visual presence of God. And it took his breath away.
What do people see when YOU are in the fire? When you go through those painful life circumstances, does your faith reflect the brilliance of the presence of God? Remember, it’s in times of darkness that our faith has the chance to shine brightest. Let’s live as my friend in Phoenix did. Let’s be like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When WE go into the fire, let’s show them God! That’s God’s Word for you today.
