When Daniel was in the midst of the lion's den, God was with him.
When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in the midst of the fiery furnace, God was with them.
It would have been perfectly easy for God to immediately transport these saints out of their difficulties, but no. He chose instead to be with them in the midst of their trials. God chose to reveal His power through the trials instead of exercising His power to remove them.
Trials and difficulties are simply a part of life and quite honestly, the longer I walk with the Lord the bigger these trials become.
But how do we react when our faith is challenged by these adversities...
