Let it be known!

To give you a little back ground on this scripture this morning.... King Nebuchadnezzar had been told that these 3 Jews were not bowing down to the gold image that he had set up. This made the King very mad and he confronted them and gave them one last chance to bow and this is their answer:



Daniel 3:16-18

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”



This gives me goose bumps! We have to ask ourselves this morning....if our necks are on the line and we have the option to stay true to our God or give in to a false god....what will we do? Do we have the faith of these 3 Jews? I love their response. God will deliver one way or another....we will worship nothing else! I pray this morning for all of us to have this kind of faith!



As the 3 Jews said "Let it be known", this morning may we believers in Christ also say" Let it be known" we will serve and worship Jesus only!
