Day 36: What Would You Stand For?
BY NATHAN SESSOMS | March 21, 2018
Today’s Readings
In today’s reading, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were threatened by King Nebuchadnezzar and forced to worship his god. However, rather than consider their own lives, they defied the existing power structure and in the face of extreme danger, trusted in their God. In the end, they demonstrated faith—not in King Nebuchadnezzar’s ability to change—but in the God they served, the God who stood with them in the fiery furnace, and, ultimately, they were victorious in converting the King.

For reflection:
- Who are you?
- Against what form of oppression or injustice would you stand?
- What barriers are keeping you from standing?
- What steps will you take to examine yourself, learn more about the form of injustice you selected, and stand with confidence?
