Context: Daniel 3
28Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

Commentary
Daniel chapter 3 is a powerful story of faith and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. It tells the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three Jewish men who were thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar for refusing to bow down and worship a golden image. Despite the threat of death, the three men refused to bow down and instead chose to trust in God.
