The Bible tells us that Daniel’s friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace and came out so unscathed « that they did not even smell the odor of the fire. »
It is written that « the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. »(Daniel 3:27)
If they came out of the fiery furnace without the smell of fire, it is because God was with them in the fire and protected them against the impact of this fire.
Emmanuel, the name of Jesus means « God with you ».
If we too live and walk with Jesus, he will manifest and intervene during the trials that we will go through. Thus we will come out without any smell of the fire of trials.
Indeed, those to whom the smell of the fire of ordeal has reached, continue to keep this smell in their life after the ordeal: They smell distrust, fear, hatred, trauma, wickedness, etc.
But those whom Jesus has protected against the impact of trial, don’t smell.
However, God can deliver those who keep the smell of the fire of the various trials in their soul by spreading on them the smell of his victory, the smell of his love and that of his goodness towards them.(Read 2 Corinthians 2:14)
Thus their trial becomes a testimony to the glory of God.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, protect us from the impact of the various trials we are going through.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
