My Bible Story
Daniel and his friends were taken to Babylon, a place with different beliefs and practices. They refused to eat the king’s food because it would dishonor God. Later, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to a golden statue. They were thrown into a fiery furnace, but God protected them — not a hair was burned!
What This Teaches Us
- We must stand for God even when others do not.
- Holiness means making different choices.
- God rewards courage and obedience.
- God is with us in every trial.
