       What we can learn from the response of these men is what I call the Daniel 3:16 Method. It is in there response that started in verse 16 of Daniel chapter 3. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were surrendered to whatever the outcome might be. They were okay if God rescues them from the fiery furnace, and they were okay with the result if that didn’t happen. They just wanted the king to be sure that they were not going to bow down and do what was wrong, what was against their hearts, what would offend the God of the Universe. Therefore, in any situation, we can apply the Daniel 3:16 Method. When there is something we want God to do for us or that we just want to happen in our lives, we need to be surrendered to the outcome. We need to be able to step back and say, “It’s okay if God does what I want (whatever that want is), and it’s okay if he doesn’t.” If it is something we are just hoping happens inside our minds, we need to be able to say, “It’s good if it happens, but I’m okay if it doesn’t. It’s not going to bother me.”
