1. If you are faced with opposition and want to
make the right choice, you have to determine
that you are going to stand firm on your faith
and what you believe in, come what may.As
Shadrach, Meshach, andAbednego said to
the king when asked to bow down to his image
and were threatened with being burned alive if
they did: “But if not. …” (Daniel 3:18).
Facing opposition and yet staying true to
one’s beliefs and convictions is difficult
to do. It involves making a choice, and
sometimes a number of choices‚ as to
whether you will be true to God and what
you know to be right, or acquiesce to the
wishes and ways of others.
Daniel and his three friends, Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, faced those
choices repeatedly as employees in the king’s court. Yet
they chose to stand by what they knew was true by the
standard that God had given them in His Word, regardless
of the consequences.
It wasn’t easy to go contrary to the customs of their time.
But because they determined that they were going to follow
God, regardless of what opposition they faced, this made
each decision easier and the path of God’s will clearer.
In other words, even if I receive the ridicule‚ scorn, and
humiliation of others, I am still going to be true to the
one who is my closest and dearest friend. I will trust
Him for the future, knowing that He does all things well.
Staying true to your faith isn’t always easy,
but it’s worth it.
