Jehovah were not afraid of the face
Of man. 80 Nebuchadnezzar we are
not careful to answer thee in this mat
ter. If it be so our God whom we
serve is able to deliver US from the
burning fiery furnace, and he will de-
liver US out of thine hand, o king. But
if not be it known unto thee, o king,
that we will not serve thy gods, nor
worship the golden image which thou
hast set up
catch the nub of that? "Our God
is able" Hold fast to that. That is
tile foundation for all overcoming
character, and all serenity of heart.
Pin faith there. 'Our God is able"
That is the basic truth of Christianity
Simple enough for child to under
stand, it is yet beyond the compass of
the wisest mans understanding. If We
believe that, then life becomes simple
and applicable. Trust is then reason
able and peace easy. But if for that
faith we substitute mere human pru-
dence, God have mercy upon us. For
a creed that will suffice in all circum-
stances, and that will help one to hold
up his head before kings, let us en-
shrine this in our deepest hearts: "Our
God is able"
The Fiery Furnaces Failure.
The Germans at Babylon told me
that they have come to mysterious
place of burning; they do not know
what the burnt ground and ashes
mean. The spot may have been
crematorium, or place of sacrifice!
or my informant added. half IN
jest sit may have been the fiery fur
mace" They do not know; neither do
I. The spirit and message of the fiery
furnace are still ablaze in the world;
who cares for a few ashes?
Into some sort of retort-fo olishly
heated sevenfold for the occasion, for
the greater the heat the shorter the
sufferings of the victims-the three
young men were cast. The event must
have created as great a sensation as
the worship of the golden image; as
suredly it fixed the attention of the
city upon the Hebrews and their faith.
The fire was not hotter than the kings
rage; yet it consumed the attendants
who cast the young men into it. This
incident would be told over and over
again wherever men congregated in
Babylon, or travelled from the great
festival.
Then came the marvel the miracle, |
that struck wonder and terror to the |
heart of the king. In the furnace he
saw -four men loose walking in the |
midst of the fire, and they have no
hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is |
like a son of the gods" Centuries be- |
fore the promise was spoken the faith |
full knew it's realization: 10, I am
with you all the days. There is no
place where Gods friends must go
that his presence does not accompany
them. "Our God is able" Unscented |
by the ordeal Of fire, the three young !
men emerged, more than conquerors, |
to the honor of the Name that they |
would not betray. For God gets glory |
from every soul that stands true to it's
highest vision loyalty saves those who |
possess it, serves the race, and honors |
Jehovah.
