COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FEAR (12)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: TUESDAY, 24 OCTOBER 2023
Continuously, beloved, another brave and confident people in the Bible who exhibited great courage and defeated their fears are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These three Jewish men displayed immense courage when they refused to bow down to a golden idol erected by King Nebuchadnezzar. Despite the threat of being thrown into a fiery furnace, they held fast to their faith in God. Miraculously, they were not harmed, and their story serves as a testament to their unwavering trust in God.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “He answered and said, ‘But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.'” — Daniel 3:25 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: This story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s unwavering faith and God’s miraculous deliverance in the midst of a fiery trial serves as a powerful testament to the importance of faith and loyalty to God, even in the face of extreme adversity. It reminds believers that God is able to protect and deliver those who trust in Him. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Faith and loyalty to God is the key to a profitable life. No one who confidently and unreservedly trusts in God would ever be ashamed.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, just like the three Jewish brothers, let us ask God for the grace to be courageous and obedient even in the face of fears.
PRAYER: O GOD, give us the grace to be bold and courageous, just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to face and defeat every obstacle in our lives, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As the Lord is helping us, may we be courageous and brave in the face of difficulties, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
