Even
If

The God we serve is able to deliver
us from [the fire] . . . . But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your
Majesty, that we will not serve your gods. Daniel 3:17–18
Sometimes life deals us a tremendous
blow. Other times the miraculous happens.
Three young men, captives in Babylon,
stood in front of the fearsome king of that land and boldly proclaimed that
under no circumstances would they worship the giant image of gold towering
above them. Together they declared: “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace,
the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and He will
deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if He does not, we want you
to know . . . we will not . . . worship the image” (Daniel 3:17–18).
These three men—Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego—were hurled into the fiery furnace; and God miraculously delivered
them so that not a hair of their head was singed and their clothing was
smoke-free (vv. 19–27). They had been prepared to die but their trust in God
was unwavering—“even if” He had not saved them.
God desires that we cling to Him—even
if our loved one isn’t healed, even if we lose our job, even if
we are persecuted. Sometimes God rescues us from danger in this life, and
sometimes He doesn’t. But the truth we can hold firmly is this: “The God we
serve is able,” loves us, and is with us in every fiery trial, every even
if.

us unwavering faith—and strength and hope for each day—no matter the
circumstance.
