September 4 Reading (Daniel 3)
A familiar story from the exile ... as Tony Evans calls it: "Shadrach, Meshach and One Bad Negro!"

My favorite: " O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."

Praise the Lord for going INTO the furnace with these 3 and proving faithful in the midst of great struggle!! Praise your most AWESOME Name!!

This story never gets old.
