Sorrow and Joy

My life is mixed with sorrow and joy. While some of my relationships improve, others nosedive. While some of my circumstances improve, others degrade. In all things I will trust in HIM.

One of my favorite stories is the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Even when they were threatened with a cruel and unjust death sentence, they knew they could only do one thing… Trust in the One True and Eternal God: Read Daniel 3: 16-

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 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.
