Our God Is Able

“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.” 
– Daniel 3:16-17 (NKJV)  

There are moments in life when challenges rise around us like a fiery furnace—pressures at work, painful diagnoses, financial strain, or deep spiritual battles. In those moments, when escape seems impossible, faith whispers a timeless truth: our God is able. 

The three Hebrew boys—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—stood before the most powerful ruler of their time, facing a death sentence for refusing to bow to an idol. Yet their confidence did not rest in their strength, their skill, or their strategy. It rested entirely in the power of their God. With calm assurance, they declared that He was well able to save them from the flames. 

This is where true faith begins—with the unshakable conviction that the God who created heaven and earth still reigns today. He is the One who parts seas, silences storms, shuts lions’ mouths, and raises the dead. His arm is never too short, and His power never fades. Whatever fire stands before us, we can stand unafraid, knowing that God is able to deliver. 

Don’t measure the heat of the fire—measure the greatness of your God.

Did you notice something remarkable: their faith was neither frantic nor defensive. They spoke with quiet courage and respectful calm. That’s what happens when our trust is anchored in God’s ability rather than our circumstances. Fear loses its grip, because faith speaks louder than the threats we face. 

So today, lift your eyes above the furnace. Don’t measure the heat of the fire—measure the greatness of your God. Whether you stand in sickness, need, or uncertainty, let this be your declaration: 

“Our God is able to deliver us.” 

And when you believe that peace will stand where panic once lived, faith will rise stronger than the flames.
