Is it true?
Sometimes I think we doubt God is real just because it’s so fantastic. Can it really be true we’re forgiven? That we’re loved? That someone really cares about all our choices?
And yet it is all true.
But God doesn’t stop there. He gives us proof so we will know it’s true. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had something really bad happen to them: they were thrown into a fire. Yet they believed that God had the power to save them. And they told King Nebuchadnezzar just that. When they weren’t killed by the fire, Nebuchadnezzar had a choice to make. He had to decide if what he saw proved God existed, or if he would ignore the evidence he saw with his own eyes. I think this is one of the reasons why “bad” things happen to us, so that others will see God in action, and they can know too.
