I spent most of the weekend anguishing over an issue that I have been dealing with for some time now and I am totally having to trust God that He will take care of me in this time of need.
The problem is really a self-induced problem that I let get out of hand. I have confessed it to the Lord and I know I have been forgiven but the consequences still linger on.
The scriptures say that He will never leave me nor forsake me so I take great comfort knowing that as I deal with this issue God is with me. I am praying for deliverance however, I know that I also must press on and work through this mountain. It’s very comforting to know that I don’t have to go through this “thing” alone and that God may choose to deliver me at some point. Either way though, I will not bow down to this problem and I will worship my King and praise His holy name.
The bible gives us a beautiful example of the type of experience in the book of Daniel with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They would not bow down to the graven image that the king had made for everyone to worship. The penalty was for these three friends to be thrown into the fiery furnace. The king offered a reprieve if they would bow down and worship the image but they refused. The fire was made 7 times hotter and they were thrown into the furnace.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew that God would deliver them but also knew that if he didn’t they still would only bow down and worship the true God and not some idol.
This is my stance. I will only bow down to the Lord and worship Him alone. Giving God all the glory whether I am delivered or not. Not matter what happens to me on this earth, I know I will spend eternity worshiping and praising Jesus in heaven.
