I've had a song stuck in my head that I've known for a few years but am reminded of the profundity of its message. Below are an excerpt and two videos. The excerpt is part of the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The first video below it is of Shane Barnard and Shane Everett explaining their fresh encounter with this old story. The second video is the song itself with lyrics. It is renewing to my personal faith experience to be reminded that even these biblical heroes were able to claim God's power boldly in the face of certain death but also to say, "But even if He does not..." our faith in Him is not changed. Enjoy.
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18)
