—Daniel 3:13-18
by: Trisha Gerstel.
If you have ever approached a project—home renovation, weight-loss journey, educational pursuit, etc.—with an “I don’t know about this” attitude, you are very familiar with the dangers of second-guessing. The most effective way to approach any goal is by boldly declaring, “I will!” This is just as true when fending off the myriad of false idols that surround us. These young men seemed resolute in their refusal to worship the Babylonian gods. Instead of thinking, “I sure hope I can hold my ground,” or, “I’m not sure my faith is strong enough,” we must face worldly gods with a heart that confidently declares, “I will not stumble—I will not bow to anyone but God.”
