Choose What's Right
Read: Daniel 3: 14-30
This is a well-known story, showing how we should
always choose to do what’s right – even if it costs
us something.
King Nebuchadnezzar had made an image of gold, and
had an order given for the people to bow down to
this image when they heard the music, and worship it.
Three men named Shadrach, Meshach and Abedenego,
who the king put in charge over the affairs of
Babylon, would not bow down to it.
They chose to do what was right. They would only
serve and worship God Almighty, even though they
could have been killed for it.
Are we too willing to serve and worship the Lord
only – no matter what the cost?
We are daily faced with choices – to do what others
want or what we know the Lord wants. It may cost us
to choose what the Lord wants, but it is the right
choice. We may get laughed at or put down – but we
can’t let what others think stop us from doing what
we know is the right thing to do.
It makes God happy when we choose Him and His
ways over what the world says.
He will strengthen you as you choose what’s right.
-M.S.Lowndes
Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold. - Proverbs 8: 10
