Through the Fire

Share

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“…We went through fire and flood, but You brought us to a place of abundance”
(Psalm 66:12, NLT)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In scripture, three Hebrew teenagers, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, were told to bow down to the king’s idol or they would be thrown into a fiery furnace. They said, “No, King. We’re not going to bow down. We know our God will deliver us.” Their attitude was, “We’re not worried about it. We know we have inside information. We know everything is going to be alright.” Notice they didn’t fight it. They weren’t upset. They weren’t complaining. They were at peace. They knew God Almighty had His hand upon them. The guards threw them into the fiery furnace, and when all was said and done, they came out without even the smell of smoke on them!

Notice that God didn’t deliver them from the fire; He delivered them through the fire. Maybe you are going through the fire today. Know that God is with you. He’s doing a work in you, and He’s displaying His glory through you. Remember, on the other side of the fire is a place of abundance and blessing! Stand strong and see the fulfillment of the promises He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for delivering and saving me. I stand strong no matter what I may be facing, knowing that You are with me. Thank You for protecting me through the fire and for leading me to the place of abundance and blessing You have prepared for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

  2. YES, very encourginging words, and may God deliver us from evil hands that want to get hold of Zambia.
    Zambia for JESUS, and may he give us a leader after the election who will leader us into our destiny as Zambia

  3. Funny how back in 1994, when it was pretty clear that a massacre was taking place in Rwanda (850,000 killed by machetes), the US State dept. did nothing…why? Because Rwanda had no resources such as oil and foregin investments to bother over.
    Let’s not forget the BP and Cheevron contracts in Libya that have stopped or have been broken since late Feb.
    The “humanitarian” spin is pure garbage…Obomber cares nothing gor the Libyan’s except to pave way for the multi-national contracts to resume.

  4. Don’t forget Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
    He is now implicated in 3 wars: Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
