I just finished reading Daniel 3 and what caught my attention was the number of government officials present at Nebu’s golden image dedication: Princes, governors, captains, judges, treasurers, counsellors, sheriffs, and a general bunch called provincial rulers. Undoubtedly there were thousands.
So what were three Jews in the midst of that throng? A fairly insignificant trio.
But at the end of the day, they caught the attention of the king and anybody who was important on the earthly level. And what made them stick out? The fact that they trusted a fourth Person, who for the most part was invisible.
Not much has changed in 2,600 years. Those who honor God continue to be in the minority, little seen or acknowledged by the crowds. But we serve the King of Kings and sometimes He decides to create a scene, in the grandest sense of the phrase! These highly publicized events are for the most part isolated, but they show what God can do if He wants to.
Whatever His will is, the rest of us have a clear mandate.
We are to trust and be faithful.
Psalm 40:4
