Once God speaks on a subject we can consider the matter settled! For example Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the book of Daniel would not bow to the golden image because God had already spoken on the subject.
Exodus 20:3
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
Exodus 20:5a
5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.
So when they were told to bow the matter was already settled in their hearts because God had spoken on the subject. No excuses or trying to come up with a way out just pure faith and obedience!
Warren Wiersbe said “True faith obeys the Lord and trusts Him to work out the consequences.”
God’s Word, our guide book for life, is full of instructions and we must know it because all areas of life are covered and matters are settled by our God. Let us be faithful, uncompromising followers and leave the results up to God!

Our Bible Class study yesterday was on the Book of Daniel.
