"All in"

"All In"

Daniel 3:16-18

Are you all in? Three Amigos in the Book of Daniel Chapter 3 faced a difficult choice. Worship a golden image of a man or be burned alive. In the face of such opposition the friends made a difficult choice. "God will deliver us, but if not we refuse to bow down (Paraphrased)", these where not concerned with the outcome. It did not matter whether they lived or died, all that mattered to them was that God would be glorified.

God's glory is more important than the outcome. Victory is God being glorified in my life. This does not mean that we do not pray for healing, health, life, etc. But it does mean our main concern is for God to glorified above all.

In Daniel Chapter 3 God delivered the Three Friends (Daniel 3:28). But in Hebrews 11:36-40 we read of people who did not receive the outcome that they desired. However this did not discourage them, they carried on and persevered all for the sake of the Gospel.

So what are you more concerned about, getting the victory you want are bringing glory to God by presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1)? Meaning we live only to please Him and Him alone. Stay focused, you can do this.

In His JOY!
