Have you ever been afraid? Sometimes it is good to be afraid, but not when we are afraid to do anything except hide or tremble. This Sunday we will learn about three men who were certainly afraid, but put their trust in God so they could take a courageous stand for what was right.
The story is about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three Jewish captives in Babylon who lived a little more than 400 years before Jesus was born, who refused to obey King Nebuchadnezzar’s law that all must worship his 90-foot golden statue. They knew that the right thing to do was to continue to worship the One True God, as they had always done. Even when threatened with death in a fiery furnace, they trusted that their God could save them if He chose. They knew that whatever God did would be for the best.
God did in fact choose to save the Jewish men, and did it so miraculously that the King and his court were amazed when the three men not only survived the furnace, but with no scorching of their clothes and even no smell of smoke on them. Only the ropes which bound them had burned off.
Join us this Sunday as we take a look at some of the things that kids your age might fear, and how we can trust God to help us face our fear with courage.
This would be a great day to bring a friend…and also to continue to bring in food for needy families at Thanksgiving.
Tom and Sydney Cook
