Make Your Decision The Scripture says: “Choose … this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15). Whom will you serve? The true and the living God? Or will you serve those things the devil brings across your path, the images that he places before you? Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego could not put off their decision. They had to make a decision when the herald announced the king’s command to bow to the kings image. And we have to make a decision. We can’t put if off. “He who is often reproved, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy” (Proverbs 29:1). God says, “My spirit shall not strive with man forever” (Genesis 6:3). There comes a point which, if we go beyond it, it is difficult to return. We need to say either “yes” or “no.” But some of us say “maybe.” Some of us try to straddle the fence and live in both worlds, but God doesn’t allow that. Jesus will not compromise with us. The Gospel plan is all set. God says that we have to accept His Son into our hearts as Lord and Savior, and let Him rule our lives, if we are to enter His Kingdom. Those three young men refused to bow down and give in to the devil. When your trial comes—and it will if you are following Christ—act in the light of eternity. Do not judge the situation by the king’s threat, or by the heat of the burning fiery furnace, but by the everlasting God and the eternal life that awaits us.
