Worship Men’s Works? – 3
Saturday, February 17, 2024Key Verse
“He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God”
Text — Daniel 3:23-30
Message
There is something wrong when men choose to worship the creature instead of the Creator. Nebuchadnezzar told people to worship the golden image that he made. Napoleon Bonaparte’s words on worship is appropriate here. He stated, “If Socrates would enter the room we should rise and do him honour. But if Jesus Christ came into the room we should fall down on our knees and worship Him.” But in our text, people were told to woship an idol. It is gratifying to note that when shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were cast into the fire, though they fell down intially, when Jesus came, they arose and walked about freely in the fire with Him. God honoured His young generals with His presence in their trying time.
Dear friend, you have a choice to make; you either worship God or the devil. If you reject Jesus by indulging in sinful practices, you are for the devil just as the idol worshipper. God’s Word says, “…If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Be loyal to Jehovah God.
