Ep. 205 Through the Fire

Have you ever felt like giving up because you were stressed out and overwhelmed by circumstances you couldn’t control? What do you do when you find yourself in the middle of life's fires?

The truth is the enemy wants us to spend our days worried, afraid, frustrated, anxious, and disconnected from God. And though it’s easy to focus on our circumstances, that never helps. There will be times when we are in that “space in between” where we don’t know where to place our footing, what to hold on to (in this world), what we should be doing in a particular situation or season of life — and God is telling us: don’t worry, you will be okay — I am here with you.

In this week's episode, Nancy uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 3 to discuss what to do when we find ourselves thrown into life's fire. No matter what you might be facing or what comes up in the future, remember two things: God is with you…and He’s in control.

If you feel like you’re in the furnace right now, then this episode is for you. Don’t look ahead to your situation and think, There’s just no way I’m going to get through this. Put your confidence in God and keep moving forward, because He is with you and He will help you through it.

God is with you in the fire, and He’s the Way when there is no way.

Scriptures in this episode:

• Daniel 3
• Isaiah 43:1-2

Reflection Questions:

1. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego chose not to bow down to the image of gold. While their decision makes sense, it isn’t always easy to choose God in certain times. Why do we have difficulty at times to choose God and His will, specifically in tough or difficult circumstances?
2. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego chose to die instead of worship another God. What do their actions tell us about their character and their faith?
3. Would you give your life for God like Shadrach, Meschach, & Abednego did? Why or why not?
4. Do you have faith like Shadrach, Meschach, & Abednego?
