I love the Book of Daniel. As he was probably a lawyer in the Courts of Babylon who God would take aside every so often to show forth his Word and will.
Similarly, I am a lawyer in ABQ,NM, like Babylon, and God may occasionally take me out of my "comfort zone" to speak forth his Word, including about the times to come.
Good Morning, Dan. :-)
The detail in the story that always catches my attention is the fact that the fire in the furnace was so hot that even the soldiers who through the three men into the furnace were slain from the heat. As someone who has done some firefighting and been around iron smelters, intense heat can be extremely frightening. They should have been burned to a crisp in a few short minutes. That God preserved his servants from this fiery ordeal must have been utterly astonishing to the king and all who witnessed it.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm.”
