Daniel 3:28-29
"Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent His angel and rescued His servants! They trusted in HIM and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship and god except their own God...for no other god save in this way."
Babylon had 44 gods. These men were not willing to worship them, but were willing to give up their own lives to worship and serve God, the King of all Kings.
Do we do this? How many gods do we have? 44? 107? Think that about that. Are you willing to give your own life for your own gods?
We life a life of luxury and affulence. I can tell you, seriously, it would take a lot for me to give up my own gods for the King of Kings. Yes, I can admit that. Can you? My husband Jim is going to speak on this very verse tomorrow at church, so I thought that I would share it with you.
Dear Father, please help me to serve You instead of myself.
