Three young Hebrew men were taken captive from Jerusalem to Babylon in 605 B.C. Trained for 3 years in this pagan land and were given the names Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. But they remained faithful to God. The King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, commands everyone to bow down and worship the golden image of himself. They refused despite the fact they knew they'd be thrown into the fiery furnace. The 'Fourth Man' appeared in the fire with them and they came out without harm. We often fear the consequences more than we believe in the promises of God. What ‘golden image’ is causing you to defy God’s Word?

700 years before Christ was born it was prophesied who He would be:  Isaiah 9:6 .... And he will be called 'Wonderful Counselor' ...  Jesus is not just a counselor but a wonderful counselor. His guidance not only blesses us but protects us. He knows you by name and intimately. Those born of God know His voice. A believer listens to the voice of God. He will lead you to have life and life more abundantly (Jn 10:10). It is two way communication. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. No other religion has this. The bible has over 1000 stories where God spoke to mankind.
