When the three Hebrew children went into the fiery furnace, the Lord did not turn off the fire.
Nor did He sweep in with an eleventh hour respite.
In fact, the fire was turned up seven times hotter. They went in. Bound. And the fire was so intense that those who put them in were killed.
Still, there was no rescue from the experience. But the Rescuer was seen with them in the furnace.
"And the satraps, the deputies, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered around together and saw these men--that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed; neither were their garments scorched or changed in color or condition, nor had even the smell of smoke clung to them . . ."
Daniel 3:27 (Amplified Bible)
Soldier of The Cross, we are not looking for the easy route. We are looking for God's Will, God's Glory and God's Presence.
There is nothing more, and we want nothing less.
