They completely trusted in God, rather than to worship the Babylonian god (a golden statue). The result of it, they were rescued unharmed and rewarded and exalted. That same power of the Lord could be available to me if I trust God in every situation when I face trials. I am thankful to God that I am in God's hands, not in human hands. <br /><br />Whenever I encounter the struggles of life, or sufferings and difficulties, with faith in God I cry out to Him. There have been times when my temporary trials were delivered through my constant prayers and petitions to Him. Even though my faith in Him is still weak, His love for me sets me free. So that I've forgiven the persons who offended me in the past. In this way I witnessed to others that God's love abides in me.<br />Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176231645022543980.post-8899419347842871922014-06-10T19:44:15.885-07:002014-06-10T19:44:15.885-07:00When tested by fire or worse……how will we behave??...When tested by fire or worse……how will we behave???? We’d all like to think<br />we’d be models of perfection….but look at Peter, who spent some 3 years with<br />Christ on a daily basis…..…he couldn’t stand up for Christ when the time came.<br /><br />We’re not being challenged now to this extent, so now is the time to fortify our-<br />selves through prayer, sacrifice and good deeds. When we were with Habitat<br />For Humanity in Central America, we thought we’d impress large masses of<br />people. If in fact, we impressed even a small handful of people, I’d now consider that a major accomplishment. Timnoreply@blogger.com
