Can't touch this
'.... no weapon turned against you will succeed.' Isaiah 54:17
How would you feel if our Prime Minister decided Christianity was against the law? And he made a new law: that everyone had to bow down to his statue and worship him? Wouldn't exactly float your boat would it? Would you keep your faith and risk going to prison, or forget about God in order to avoid being thrown in the slammer? What if the punishment was the death penalty? How much would your faith mean to you then?
Would you risk losing your life for God just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (see Daniel 3)? They were in just this position. Their King, Nebuchadnezzar, made an image of gold 90ft high and 9ft wide; 'Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace' (v 6) he ordered.
Sha, Mes and Abe chose not to obey that order - they chose to obey God instead. They told the King, 'do your worst ... were sticking with God' He'll save us and you know what, even if he doesn't we're not bothered, we're still sticking with Him, He's well better than you' (or words to that effect!)! All three got chucked in the fire and all three walked right back out again; without one little burn. They didn't even smell of smoke. God had saved them.
When God's on guard duty, nothing can touch us '.... no weapon turned against you will succeed.'
