Courage

The Three in the Furnace

"But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods."
Daniel 3:18

Reflection

They said God could save them, and that even if He did not, they would not switch sides. That is faith with no conditions.

Prayer

Lord, I want to follow You whatever happens. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What did the three friends say to the king?
  2. What does "even if not" mean?
  3. Who was with them in the fire?

5-minute activity

Cut out four paper figures: three friends and one more. Act out the story inside a box decorated as a furnace, and count who the king saw walking in the fire. Read Daniel 3:16-27.
