Even if…
Every time I hear the phrase “even if” it reminds me of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace (Daniel 3). They were threatened with being thrown into the fire if they didn’t worship the king’s idol. I’m always amazed by their response: Our God can protect us, but EVEN IF He doesn’t, we will still worship only Him.
Will you worship only God…
Even if you don’t pass that test?
Even if you don’t get that job?
Even if you don’t get that promotion or rank?
Even if He doesn’t restore your marriage?
Even if He doesn’t save your child?
Even if He doesn’t cure that terrible disease?
It is easy to be impressed with those who have gone before. Sometimes we hear these stories so often they lose their wonder.
I’m praying for you today because life is hard, and these questions are hard, and we hope we will make the right choice when we are faced with it!
