Double Trouble

November 3, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon.

Daniel 3:30, NLT

Today’s Word

In Daniel 3, when the three Hebrew teenagers in today’s Scripture refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, he was so angry that he threatened to throw them into a fiery furnace. Sometimes you have trouble because you’re doing the right thing, not because you’re doing something wrong. When they refused a second time, they had an even bigger problem. He heated up the furnace seven times and had them thrown in. Sometimes God will let the odds be against you in greater ways so that when He turns things around, it’s a bigger miracle, and everyone will see His favor on your life. When those teenagers not only survived but walked out of the furnace without even the smell of smoke on them, Nebuchadnezzar gave praise to the God he didn’t believe in a few hours before. That’s a great miracle, but he also promoted them to higher positions in his government. Hidden in all those problems was promotion. God doesn’t just bring us out of problems. He attaches promotions to the problems and brings us up to new levels.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that when the problems I face look bigger, stronger, and more powerful than I can handle, You will show out with Your favor so others will know that You are God. Thank You that You can even turn the problem into a promotion. Display Your power through me today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”Archive
