This is the answer, of faith, to the question from Nebuchadnezzar, to Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego: “Who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?”
[Dan 3:15]
In our earthly “temporal reality” we can be assured that our faith will face the challenging question: “Why Won't God …(fill in the dots)?” After all “the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all them that TRUST in Him.”
[Pastor; 2 Sam 22:31]
Paul testified, of his and Timothy's missionary journey in Asia, saying: “We had the sentence of death in ourselves (dying daily), that we should not TRUST in ourselves, but IN GOD which raiseth the dead.” Our lives are in His hands, and subject to His 'agenda,' not ours. “And for (His) pleasure (we) are and were created.”
[2 Cor 1:9; Pastor; Rev 4:11]
The eye opener, to the faith and patience of the saints; for me, is the response of the three Hebrew boys, and Job: “But if [God does] not [deliver us]...we will not serve thy gods;” and “Though He slay me, yet will I TRUST in Him.” [Dan 3:18; Job 13:15]
What is your answer to Him?
ThenSingsMySoul:
DO I TRUST YOU, LORD? DOES THE RIVER FLOW?
DO I TRUST YOU, LORD? DOES THE NORTH WIND BLOW?
YOU CAN SEE MY HEART, YOU CAN READ MY MIND,
AND YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW THAT I WOULD RATHER DIE,
THAN TO LOSE MY FAITH IN THE ONE I LOVE;
DO I TRUST YOU, LORD?
