‘We will not, O king, serve your god or worship the statue you have erected.’

Jesus, as I listen to your word today, please bless me with a heart that is both open and sensitive to what you are offering me. During this Lent I have been trying to renew my life with the help of your word, so that I might come closer to you. The answer given by those three young men to their king is remarkable, a statement of great faith and courage. They didn’t know how their God would act, but were certain he was their God.

The people of Jesus’ day believed in God’s power, but many of them had limited God to their own particular expectations, and Jesus didn’t conform to their narrow ideas. Jesus, may I be open to your Spirit and not limit the power of the Spirit in my life.
