Walk Through the Furnace with Me
Flames growing higher, more than I can bear
A heat so strong it steals all of my air
I feel tightly bound hand and foot in this life
Struggling through tribulation and strife
The furnace is burning hot, ready to consume
I am on the edge creeping towards doom
Into the fire as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
Thrown for they refused to bow low
I will not fret or feel threatened by this world
Even if into the furnace I am hurled
I know that I will not be harmed or walk alone
For Jesus Christ calls me His own
I cry out in faith to the only One who saves
Freed when situations seems grave
In Christ alone I place my trust and will see
He walks through the furnace with me
Family in Christ,
Haven’t we all walked through the furnace at least once in our lives? All of us can list the different furnaces we have walked through unscathed accompanied by Jesus all the way. I love reading the Daniel, the history of tremendous faith. I take great joy in the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who refused to bow to idols even in the face of the threat of being thrown into the furnace. Not only did they not bow, but had such faith that they said the Lord will save them or if not will call them home. It did not matter. They put into action the words that Paul wrote thousands of years later when he said “To die is gain and to live is Jesus Christ.” Regardless of our furnace, Christ will walk through the fire with us. God bless.
In Christ,
Christian
