THINGS ABOVE THOUGHTS
TAT # 97 Strength
I’ve always loved the story of the three men thrown into the fiery furnace. They were not harmed by the fire, they were joined by a fourth person, probably the Lord, and I’m sure had wonder, intimate fellowship!
Can you imagine being one of those three walking around watching the fire burn, but not being affected by it, and having wonderful intimate fellowship with the Lord? What a blessed situation! What joy! What excitement! What victory! But then the Lord turns to you and says it’s time to leave the fiery furnace and go back to your daily routine. The strength it must have taken for those three to obey the Lord.
Often our daily routine is harder than facing the fiery furnace.
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today” (Heb. 3:13)
