There comes a time in a believer’s life, a Glorious Moment, when we find ourselves in the midst of a magnificent fiery trial and God is seemingly absent. It will take everything in us to withstand the temptation to fear and doubt God’s faithfulness. And all we have to trust and believe Him.
Though it is a great difficulty to worship God in this painful moment, the joy we bring Him if we do, can not be understated, it is of profoundly great worth. Only on Earth in the midst of this great storm, does the glorious opportunity exist. After death it is not obtainable.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not bow down to the gold image despite the threat of the furnace. In the midst of losing everything Job blessed and refused to curse God. And Daniel chose the lion’s den, over giving up his prayer life. These immensely difficult moments are glorious to God. They are extravagant worship.
Our time will pass by quickly. Let us glorify God now, while we can. Let us lavish our love and faithfulness on Him. Let us believe Him, no matter what the circumstances are saying. If we choose the Door of Faith, we will find there is many places He can then take us.
