Stand or Bow

Daniel 3:15-18

From time to time you will find yourself in a place where you either have to stand or bow.      

The enemy, in big and small ways, is always giving us a chance to bow instead of stand.

If you don’t bow the first time, the enemy will increase the pressure and give you another chance to bow.

Here is the hard part: when we are tempted to bow to the world, we don’t know the outcome.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew God could save them, but they didn’t know if He would.

Here is what you have to settle: no matter what happens, God is still God and I will bow to nothing else.

We are in a battle, and the first one that must be won is with our flesh.

To serve God, you have to attack the flesh.

The rule or place of the flesh in our lives has to be defeated to walk fearlessly in this world.

One of the ways the enemy gets us to bow is by showing us the flames.

When God shows us a need He wants us to meet, something He wants us to change, or a stand to be made, it may seem laughable or questionable.

Abraham believed God, and it was counted as righteousness.

With God nothing is impossible.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t know which way it would go, but they stood and trusted God to keep them.

The king proclaimed no one could speak against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego because no god could do what their God could do.

They got their direction from the Word and their strength in prayer.

Psalm 81:8-16
