We Will Not Serve your Gods

Daniel 3:16-18 ESV
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

How easy it is to go along with the world, to trade the truth of God to get by, to fit in, to go along the crowd, to call bad good, and what is good to be bad. It has always been that way. These three men did not hesitate to stand with God, and God was with them.
We don't always know the immediate outcome of our actions, but we know the final outcome.
