"Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel to deliver the servants that trusted in him; they disobeyed the royal command and yielded their bodies rather than serve or worship any god except their own God." Daniel 3:95
Yielding my body, why is that so difficult? Maybe I don't trust God enough yet and that is why I struggle. Maybe I listen to my flesh and it doesn't want to yield. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego forsaked everything, they ignored their bodies, they ignored their thoughts and they trusted in God alone. We each make choices each day to be tried by fire or give in to fire. Whom will you serve? The flesh or God in Heaven?
Dear Lord God, I need strength, I am weak but You are strong. I want to be strong, I will be strong for You are in me. May I yield my body to You today, my Great King. May I walk with You in the fire and not be harmed. You are my strength and You are my hope, be my counsel as we walk together. Amen.
Mary, Mother of Hope, pray for us.
