Bo Noonan teaches through Daniel chapter 3 in our series Life in Babylon, where we are learning how to live as faithful witnesses of God's goodness in a dark and hostile world. In this chapter we find Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing together in faithfulness and enduring a fiery furnace, as they defy the king's orders to bow down to a statue proclaiming him as a god. Even though we may not be called to bow down to physical statues, we are often tempted to bow our wills to cultural norms - like deifying politics, money, sports, or escapism. As we see from the three Hebrew boys, community and a plan BEFORE the moment of temptation will serve us well.
