Whenever you take a stand for God, expect the enemy’s opposition.
Stand for God
The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 tells us a lot about taking a stand for God. Whenever believers decide to take a stand for God, the enemy will try his best to thwart it.
Chrsitian influencer David Ford shared on Instagram his thoughts about Daniel 3.
“In Daniel, chapter 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down to the golden statue. Nebuchadnezzar gets so angry, he turns up the heat in the furnace seven times hotter,” David summarized.

Enemy’s opposition
He then continued to explain that experiencing opposition in your life is a confirmation. There is power in our “yes” to Him and our “yes” means no to the enemy.
“Whenever you take a stand for God, whenever you follow God, you can expect the heat to be turned up in your life. You can expect opposition. So don’t take it as a threat, take it as confirmation.”
Whatever scheme the enemy is preparing, the Lord is more powerful. When you stand for God, remember that nothing can be against you!
“Here’s the thing that I love about this story. The men who tried to throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the fire burned up themselves and they died. Showing us when our enemies try to hurt us, they only end up hurting themselves.”
