I find the book of Daniel fascinating. The third chapter is all about Shadrack, Meshack and Abendego. No where does it mention Daniel. In any other novel the main character would not have been left out, at least in Hollywood or Disney. God is the best story teller ever and His stories are true. I find it much more suspenseful for a main character to not even be mentioned. Then Daniel is brought up again in chapter 6. The suspense deepens when Daniel is thrown into the Lions Den. He misses out on the fiery furnace with his friends but he is all alone in the fiery furnace.
The wonderful point is when they call upon his name from the outside of the Lions Den they call him "Servant of the Living God". Wow, now that's a title to strive for, but are we willing to suffer for that title?
Looking back again to the third chapter of Daniel we see Shadrack, Meshack and Abendego referred to as, "you servants of the Most High God, ...!” The most wonderful thing about this entire book is how God get's the glory when we refuse to bow to sin in our lives.
How about you today? What forces of evil are coming against you trying to get you to bow down and worship them? Trying to get you to compromise? Choose you this day whom you will serve, if God--serve Him.
Joshua 24:15 "But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
