Here’s an interesting story about putting our trust in Jesus:
When Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, or as you know them as Shradrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were about to be thrown into the fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, God was prancing around really nervous searching for a way to save them. He went to the first angel, this angel had 2 wings. God asked, “How fast can you get down to Babylon? I need to save Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.” The angel replied, “I can get there in 24 hours!” God exclaimed “24 hours! That’s much too long.” God goes to a second angel. Now, this angel had 4 wings. God asks the same question, “How long can you get to Babylon?” The angel replies, “I can do much better than the last. I can be there in 12 hours.” This was not acceptable to God. God goes to a third angel, with 6 wings. He asks the same question, this angel replies, “I can do even better, 6 hours!” “No, no, no. This won’t do,” God says. He goes to again another angel with 8 wings. This angel was able to be there in 3 hours. But 3 hours wasn’t good enough for God. As a final resort, God goes to His best angel. This one has 10 wings! God asks this angel, “How fast can you get to Babylon?” This angel answered “1.5 hours!” But, 1.5 hours was still not good enough for God. Finally God has an idea, “My Son! I’ll get my Son to do it! Where’s my Son?” God couldn’t find His Son. He searched heaven high and low to search for His Son. Suddenly, from Babylon, Jesus calls out to His Father from the furnace, “I’m already here!”
