Daniels three friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse to bow down to the golden idol of King Nebuchadnezzar which angers him. The king threatens to throw them into the blazing furnace, yet they do not waver and in the end they are thrown in.
However their faith is beautiful as shown in this dangerous situation. And it is also beautiful how they have friends with them as they go through hardships together.
Do I have friends who will go through hardship, like the blazing furnace, with me?
Passage: Daniel 3:13-23
13 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?
15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.”
