Always With You!
“Look!” King Nebuchadnezzar answered, “I see four
men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they
are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the
Son of
God.”
Daniel 3: 25
There is great comfort in the truth that God is with us
in our troubles. What He does about the trouble is
up
to Him, but the promise is that He is always there.
Three stories from Scripture illustrate this truth.
First, Daniel’s three friends were thrown into the fiery
furnace in Babylon (Daniel 3). When the king peered
into the furnace, not only were three men
unharmed
but also a fourth man was with them—one “like the
Son of God.”
Second, when Jesus and His disciples crossed
the Sea of Galilee and a storm came up, Jesus
calmed the storm (Mark 4:35-41).
Third, when the disciples were struggling to cross the
Sea of Galilee due to a contrary wind, Jesus came to
them, walking on the water, and calmed the winds
(Mark 6:45-52). The promise of God is, “I will never
leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
If you are in a fire or storm today, never doubt
that God is with you. Trust Him to resolve the
matter according to His will.
"The more terrible the storm,
the more necessary the anchor."
