Change isn't easy, but it is necessary

Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace because they refused to turn their backs on God. The Lord honored their faithfulness by joining them in the fire.  Notice He didn't deliver them FROM the fire, He delivered them THROUGH the fire.  It was because of the fire that the king believed.
It was because of the fire that the people of all his lands believed.
It was because of the fire that change came to the nation,
And it was because of the fire that the young men received a promotion.   You may not be delivered FROM your fire, but YOU WILL BE DELIVERED THROUGH THE FIRE.  Your own personal struggle could be used to change a nation, a culture, or a situation. People are watching to see how you handle your life. Rejoice in your fire and thank God for the change that is coming. You are not alone.
P.S. Do you think these 9 years were easy for Barack Obama? He went through the fire and change did come to America.  If God can use him, then God can use you. Change isn't easy, but it is necessary.
