To Christians life sometimes is hard. Have you ever heard of the story about Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego? If you haven't go and read it so I can finish my post! It's some where in the book of Daniel (Daniel 1-3).
Okay now that you are caught up with the story on with my post. Remember the part of the of the story if they heard the music of horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all other instruments they would have to bow down to the gold idol? When all that music played did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego bow down to worship the idol? No! Of course not. Their Christian light and bravery shone through the outside. But as Christians might be amazed of their courage King Nabuchadnezzar ( the villain of our story) was not. In fact he was furious. He was about to give the boys a second chance but the boys told him they would never bow down to anyone but their God. That made the King boil over with anger. He had his guards heat up the fiery furnace to seven times it's usual heat! So the boys were thrown in to the fiery furnace. The king noticed something in the furnace. Four people one of which he thought might be an angel. He called out the boys' names and told them to come out. They came out.The audience saw that not a hair was singed on their heads.The King said his apologies and the boys forgave him. Later the king made a law: Any one who made fun of the boys' God would be cut up into bits!
As you can see life for Christians is sometimes difficult. The boys risked their live for what they believed in. There is also a commandment in this story: Never worship idols. I hope you would do something like what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did when something happened to them.
