Psa 66:12, Isa 43:2, Dan 3:19-28, 1Pe 4:12 | ESV | STEP | you let men ride over our heads ; we went through fire and through water ; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance .

2 ^cWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
^dwhen you walk through fire ^eyou shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.

Daniel 3:19-28

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was ^ffilled with fury, and the expression of his face ^gwas changed against ^hShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army ⁱto bind ^jShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were ^kbound in their cloaks, their tunics, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Aramaic words rendered cloaks and tunics is uncertain; also verse 27} their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king’s order was ^murgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up ⁿShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell ^obound into the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was ^pastonished and rose up ^qin haste. He declared to his ^rcounselors, “Did we not cast three men ^sbound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, ^twalking in the midst of the fire, and they ^uare not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like ^va son of the gods.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, ^w“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the ^xMost High God, come out, and come here!” Then ^yShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the ^zsatraps, the prefects, the governors, and ^aathe king’s counselors gathered together and saw that ^abthe fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their ^accloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. 28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of ^adShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who ^aehas sent his angel and ^afdelivered his servants, who ^agtrusted in him, and set aside ^{▼▼Aramaic and changed} the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies rather than ^aiserve and worship any god except their own God.

Suffering as a Christian

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at ^ajthe fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
