There is a story in the Old Testament concerning three men who
refused to worship a golden image erected by King Nebuchadnezzar. The
king was so incensed by their refusal he sentenced them to die in a
fiery furnace. This furnace was so hot their guards died in the process
of casting them in. As the King watched, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abed-nego were joined in the furnace by a
fourth man. Soon the original three emerged from the furnace, unharmed, delivered
because they had refused to sacrifice their belief, holding fast to
God, the fourth presence in the furnace. The king was so moved he
converted on the spot.
We all face trials and difficulties in our lives, our “fiery furnace.” Having chosen to Live on the Spiritual Basis, by holding fast to a power greater than ourselves, the "fourth man" stands with us, keeping us unharmed, regardless of how intense the fire appears to be.
