verses read: Daniel 3:13-30, Proverbs 11:4
prayer: lost count
This is the story of the fiery furnace. Where Daniel’s 3 friends are thrown into the furnace for refusing to bow down to the gold statue that the king made. But God protected them and the were able to escape the furnace unharmed. And after that, even the king acknowledge that because the 3 of them were willing to defy the king so that they do not defy their own God; that they were deserving of praise. And were promoted. Sounds like yesterday to me.
I chose not to defy God; and now, I’m in the furnace. Not burning up, but being purified and justified. It was a road I had rather not taken, but can I say “no” to God? Yes, I guess, but if I had, I don’t want to imagine the consequence. So, where do I stand now? At the same place I was at six months ago I guess. Badly needing a break from this place. Will be going to camp next week, in Malaysia; just need to get away from this place. Then maybe after that, I will just disappear to somewhere for a while, got my thesis to work on.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. – Proverbs 11:4
