Daniel
Chapter 3
Jijuxian's Note
Dec 2
Proverbs 28:1 - The righteous are bold as a lion.
Man's extremity is God's "opportunity" to show Himself mighty!
The could have given excuses like The three men could have compromised with the king and defended their disobedience by arguing, “Everybody else is doing it,” or “Our office demands that we obey,” or “We’ll bow our knees but we won’t bow our hearts.” They might have said, “We can do our people more good by being officers in the king’s service than by being ashes in the king’s furnace.” But true faith doesn’t look for loopholes; it simply obeys God and knows that He will do what is best. Faith rests on commands and promises, not on arguments and explanations.
