3 Jews & an angry King - Daniel 3:13-15

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    How wonderful it is to be obedient to God.  And if we are not, He will help us get back on track.  In the course of getting back on track we may have to eat a few pieces of humble pie.  Well, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not have to have humble pie, but what about Nebuchadnezzar?
     Here is Daniel 3:13-15 (click on) 13 - Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshac, and Abednego be brought before him. (14) Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Is it true, Shardrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up?  (15) I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments. But if you refuse you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace.  And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?"
    Nebuchadnezzar was mad, angry, red face raged to think these three would dare disobey him, the supreme ruler of Babylon.  He demanded and expected complete obedience to him and his authority.  His (Nebuchadnezzar) pride had moved him to this point.  He over reacted, therefore the rage.  However, if you will click on the link above and then the sound, you will find some came to him to tell him the three did not follow his command.  They resented the three and their positions, thereby "ratting" them out would offer them the opportunity to take their positions. Does this happen today?
       If you, in your walk, find yourself frustrated or angry when people don't follow your directions; ask yourself why you are reacting this way.  Is your ego overly involved with your position of authority?  Who are your advisers?  What is their motive?  Who is your God?  What is your motive?
    The 3 Jews chose to "serve only God" in their stand!  Would you do the same?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
