If you're going through hell.....

I heard something today that made me think and say, "hmmmmmmmm." If you were asked this question, what would you say?
"If you're going through hell....how do you smell?"
In Daniel Chapter 3, we read the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When they refused to bow to the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had erected to himself, he commanded that they all three be thrown into a fiery furnace. The furnace was so hot that the soldiers that bound the three and threw them into the furnace were consumed and perished because of the heat. When King Nebuchanezzar looked into the furnace, he didn't see three men!!! The verse says that "he saw four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looked like a son of the gods."
The bottom line is....just because we are Christians, God doesn't promise us that He will remove us from all the trials and tribulations we will go through during our earthly life. What He does promise is.....He will walk beside us and give us the strength to endure and to finish the race. Amen!
The surgery for my friend, Bubba, has been postponed until Wednesday due to complications from his diabetes and kidney function. Please continue to pray for God's perfect timing in his life and that he will continue to be a encouragement to all of us that know him.
