Sometimes things aren't always gonna go as you want them too, but you have to take those times, and make them into a growing/learning experience. Take it from someone who knows, its not easy at first, but with time and GOD, you get stronger. I went to BZ tonight, and Scott talked about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Now you may not be able to pronounce those, because I couldn't at first, until I heard them. Those were the 3 men that were thrown in the fire, for not bowing down and worshipping and Idol that King Nebuchadnezzar had made, by the way you can read all about this story in the book of Daniel. But look at what they were faced to do, and they did it all in faith. They coulda bowed down and worshipped an idol, and nobody woulda ever paid any attention to it, and them go on with their business. But they didn't, instead they were thrown into a fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:19-30 -- Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king's command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?"
They replied, "Certainly, O king."
He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."
Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!"
So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way."
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
