Walking around in the fire..

Tweet

When Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego were thrown into the furnace, the fire did not stop them from moving, for they were seen "walking around." Actually, the fire was one of the streets they traveled to their destination. The comfort we have from Christ's revealed truth is not that it teaches us freedom from sorrow bu that it teaches us freedom through sorrow. O dear God, when darkness overshadows me, teach me that i am merely traveling through a tunnel. it will then be enough for me to know that someday it will be all right. I have been told that someday i will stand at the top of the Mount of Olives and experience the height of resurrection glory. But Heavenly Father, I want more- I want calvary to lead up to it. I want to know that the shadows of darkness are the shade on a road- the road leading to Your heavenly house. Teach me that the reason i must climb the hill is because Your house is there! Knowing this, i will not be hurt by sorrow, if i will only walk in the fire. ---Streams in the Dessert.
