DAN 3:18
We will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Dan. 3:18
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego where close friends of Daniel. Here in this chapter of Daniel’s book we find the three friends facing the greatest challenge of their young lives. Would they, or would they not bow and worship a man-made image of gold? Their decision was immovable. No matter what the consequences they refused to bow and worship! What a tremendous example for each of us. Are we prepared to stand against everyone else because of our love for the Lord? You say, “But we don’t have idols that we’re forced to bow down to!” No, but there are many idols that we voluntarily bow down to. There are so many things that come between us and the Lord. Be careful what you worship.
