Bow Or Burn

How would we respond to a "bow or burn" decree? Shadrach, Meshack, and Abed-nego, three Hebrew young men who were captives in a foreign land, refused to bow and worship Nebuchadnezzer's ninety foot image at the dedication ceremony. Pride fueled the king's rage, but he gave them a second chance.
Daniel 3:17,18 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou has set up.
That was the day the astonished king witnessed the power of the God of the Hebrews.
Daniel 3:35 . . . . I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 
So, who and where is that fourth man? You'll find Him walking in your fiery trial when you call upon the Name of Jesus. He is able to deliver you too.
