I’ve spent a lot of time reading the old testament in my quiet time recently, and my take away from everything I’ve read is to have faith like those before me. 

David was thrown in a lions den.

Joseph was sold into slavery and thrown in prison.

Moses was called to lead a nation out of slavery.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a furnace.

These men faced unfathomable circumstances and used it to proclaim God is faithful. They walked the walk and talked the talk. These stories are not only about God delivering them, but about how having faith when it makes no sense has an impact on those around us. 

Hope is the most impactful when it shouldn’t be there. Let’s use our fiery furnace, our lions den, to show people how good our God is.

Paul writes in acts 27:15 “so take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.”

Use your trails to show Jesus!
