📖 但以理书 3:16-18

“沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌对王说：‘尼布甲尼撒啊，这件事我们不必回答你。即便如此，我们所事奉的神能将我们从烈火的窑中救出来；王啊，他也必救我们脱离你的手。即或不然，王啊，你当知道我们决不事奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像。’”

✨ 灵修

面对尼布甲尼撒王的威胁，沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌没有惊慌，也没有急着为自己辩护。

他们说：“这件事我们不必回答你。”

不是因为他们无话可说，而是因为他们的选择已经十分清楚。他们知道自己所信的是谁，也知道自己该站在哪一边。

接下来，他们说出一句充满信心的话：

“我们的神能救我们。”

他们相信神有能力施行拯救，也相信神掌管一切环境。

然而，更宝贵的是下一句话：

“即或不然。”

他们的信心不是建立在神一定照着他们所期待的方式行事，而是建立在神永远值得信靠。

即使烈火没有挪去，
即使环境没有改变，
即使结果不如所愿，

他们仍然选择忠心到底。

很多时候，我们的祷告是希望神改变环境；但神更看重的是，在环境之中，我们是否仍然坚定地信靠祂。

真正成熟的信心，不只是相信神能做什么，而是在不知道结果的时候，仍然相信神是良善的。

🙏 祷告

主啊，感谢祢是全能的神，祢能拯救，也能开道路。求祢赐给我像沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌一样的信心，不单相信祢能，更相信祢知道什么是最好的。无论环境如何，无论结果怎样，都帮助我持守对祢的忠心，坚定跟随祢。奉主耶稣的名祷告，阿们。🙏

🌿 God Is Able — Even If Not
📅 17/6/26

📖 Daniel 3:16–18

“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, ‘O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.’”

✨ Devotion

When faced with King Nebuchadnezzar’s threat, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not panic, nor did they try to defend themselves.

They simply said, “We have no need to answer you in this matter.”

It was not because they had nothing to say, but because their decision was already clear. They knew whom they believed in, and they knew where they stood.

Then they made a powerful declaration:

“Our God is able to deliver us.”

They believed that God had the power to save them and that He was sovereign over every circumstance.

Yet the most remarkable words came next:

“But if not…”

Their faith was not based on God acting according to their expectations. Their faith was rooted in the certainty that God is always worthy of trust.

Even if the fire was not removed,
even if the situation did not change,
even if the outcome was not what they hoped for,

they would remain faithful.

Many times, our prayers focus on asking God to change our circumstances. But often, God is more concerned with whether we will continue to trust Him in the midst of those circumstances.

Mature faith is not merely believing that God can do something. It is trusting that God is good, even when we do not know how the story will end.

🙏 Prayer

Lord, thank You that You are the Almighty God. You are able to save, deliver, and make a way where there seems to be no way. Give me the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—not only to believe that You can, but also to trust You when I do not understand. Whatever the circumstance and whatever the outcome, help me remain faithful and steadfast in following You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏
