Have faith

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire & He will deliver us out of your hand, O king (Daniel 3:17 NASB)

Step 10 is increase your faith.  There are a lot of great verses about faith in the bible but this is one of my favorite.  This story demonstrates obedience, faith in God, & Gods faithfulness to His people.  These three teenagers were told they would be thrown into a fiery furnace if they didn't bow down to the idol.  They knew their responsibility was to be obedient to God & they had enough faith to believe He was who He said He was & He could do what He said He could do.  They were obedient & left the results to God.  As humans that's often hard for us because that means we have to give up control.  We know all the bad things there are out there & sometimes our fear is bigger than our faith.  We believe God can do it but why would He do it for us.  He would and does because He loves us.  Remember, we serve the same God wo is in the bible, who was & is able to do great things, even miracles.  It's time for us to let Him out of the box, increase our faith, & watch Him work.  We can't even imagine what God can do.  Those three teenagers trusted in God no matter what.  God is always faithful to us now lets believe in our almighty God & see what He will do.
