Scripture Meditation No. 1706
AATHAVAN – Thursday, 09 October 2025
“Our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will rescue us from your hand, O king.” (Daniel 3:17)
Our God is mighty and powerful. When His strength surrounds us, no authority or problem can destroy us. Today’s Scripture declares this truth — “He will rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire and from the hand of the king.” The Lord delivers His children even from fiery trials and powerful rulers who stand against them.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego firmly declared that they would not bow down to the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar, even at the cost of their lives. They did not deny their God out of fear of the king’s decree. Courageously they said, “Even if you throw us into the blazing furnace, we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image you have set up.” In complete faith they testified, “Our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will rescue us from your hand, O king.”
And indeed, God honoured their faith. They were miraculously protected from the fiery furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar himself declared,
“Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and rescued His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king’s command, and surrendered their bodies rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.” (Daniel 3:28, NASB)
The king who did not know the Lord proclaimed, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego!”
Similarly, in the New Testament we read about the miraculous deliverance of the Apostle Peter from prison. King Herod had imprisoned Peter intending to kill him, but God delivered him through an angel. (Acts 12:1–10)
We also read that Paul and Silas were miraculously freed from prison:
“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains were unfastened.” (Acts 16:25–26)
Yes, dear beloved, our God — who is the same yesterday, today, and forever — is a strong refuge to those who trust and fear Him.
“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.” (Psalm 34:7)
Therefore, let us not lose heart before any authority or problem that rises against us. Let us boldly confess our faith and stand firm. Truly,
“He also brings me out from my enemies; You even lift me up above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from a violent man.” (2 Samuel 22:49, NASB)
