"Bow to the idol in the town square, or burn in a raging incinerator" (Daniel 3:15).
Their response?
"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up'" (Daniel 3:16-17 NLT)
The words that have always challenged me? "...even if he doesn't..."
I like it when HE does... Not so much, when "He doesn't..." Zac's story is an "...even if he doesn't..." kind of story.
I'm praying for Zac and his family. I'm also praying for Zac's kind of faith. This video is worth watching.
