Be different!

“Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste;
He responded and said to his high officials, ‘Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?’
They answered and said to the king, ‘Certainly, O king.’ He answered and said,
‘Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!’” (Daniel 3:24-25).
God will never leave His children alone.
King Nebuchadnezzar was livid with rage when he had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego bound and cast into the fiery furnace.
But his rage quickly turned to astonishment when he saw four men loosed and walking around unharmed by the flames.
Clearly something supernatural and beyond his control was occurring.
Although he described the fourth person as being “like a son of the gods,” he did not have the Son of God in mind.
As a pagan he would not have understood an Old Testament appearance of Christ, such as occurred to Abraham in Genesis 18.
But he understood enough to believe that God had “sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him” (v. 28).
I believe Nebuchadnezzar was correct.
God sent an angelic messenger to comfort those young men and to explain that they would not be harmed by the fire.
God would turn their darkest hour into their greatest triumph.
Others in Scripture have been similarly encouraged by special angels from the Lord.
God honored Elijah, for example, by having angels personally serve him food at an especially discouraging time in his life (1 Kings 19:4-7).
If you are a Christian, God has promised never to leave you or forsake you (Hebrews. 13:5).
He will be with you in every circumstance.
When necessary, He will dispatch His angels to minister to you in special ways (Hebrews. 1:14).
Let that truth encourage you today, especially if you are undergoing a trial.
Prayer
Praise the Lord for the protection and encouragement He has given you in the past and for His promise of similar blessings in the future.
