If you haven’t listened to Hillsong United’s Another in the Fire yet, please go listen to it. The beautiful message behind the title is that, no matter what kind of fire you’re going through, Jesus is walking through it with you. He will protect you and see you through it.
It is taken from the passage in the Old Testament where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are thrown into a blazing furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar for not worshiping the gold statue his advisers had set up. When he looked into the fire, not only were they walking around unharmed, but there was a fourth person in the furnace with them! Read the full story in the third chapter of Daniel.
Another stanza in the song says, “There’s a grave without a body.” This, of course, refers to the empty tomb where our Lord’s body was laid. He was resurrected on the third day and he is alive! We worship a Lord and Savior who is alive and is here for us no matter what we are going through. Take comfort in that and walk in joy and peace in the knowledge that he is with you at all times!
Daniel 3:24-25 (NLT) - But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?” “Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did,” they replied. “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”
