“And it came to pass on a certain night that the angel of the Lord went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses-all dead. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh” (II Kings 19:35-36). All we have to do is to stand strong on our ground and never compromise! God can do the impossible things! 9. The story of Daniel’s three friends should encourage us that there’s no trial too great that we cannot bear. However, God delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego! They were not hurt of the flame and even the smell of smoke did not cling to them! What a miraculous testimony of God’s protection to His people! This made Nebuchadnezzar to be filled with great indignation and commanded to heat the furnace seven times! The furnace was so hot that the strong men who brought Daniel’s friends died. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up” (Daniel 3:17-18). To the dismay of the King, Daniel’s friends responded, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

When brought before the King, Daniel’s friends were given the opportunity to compromise with their belief. They were famous for not bowing before the gold image and disobeying King Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel’s Friends saved from a fiery trialĭaniel’s three friends were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
He won’t even let the righteous beg for bread and be famished (Proverbs 10:3 Psalms 37:25). No matter what will happen, God can provide us all our basic needs. The feeding of the multitudes shows us how powerful God is.
Admittedly, the disciples would have been puzzled when they realized that they were not running out of food. This is another remarkable miracle in the Bible! Imagine only having five loaves of bread and two fish and you have to feed more than five thousand (or even ten thousand) people! What a miracle would that be if it would happen today. Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.” (Matthew 14:19-21). So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples and the disciples gave to the multitudes. “Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass.
