FEARLESS MEN OF FAITH

When King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia attacked Jerusalem, he took some prisoners with him in the land of Babylon. Among them were Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who were chosen to serve in the royal court. These four friends ate pure vegetables and drank water only. It might be tempting for them to try foreign foods like wine and meat but they resisted them by their strong fate. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine what you might do. You are away from your home. Alcohol, women and all kinds of stuffs are at your service. Will you resist or try it? The good friends were not only faithful but fearless. When King Nebuchadnezzar ordered every soul in the province of Babylon to bow down before the gold statue made by himself, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not flinch a bit from their stand of bowing down to their living God only. (Daniel 3: 18). Will you sell your faith at the face of challenges or be brave like these friends no matter what?
