Mighty Men of Valor

Inspired by the story in Daniel 3:20 of the men who threw Daniel, Meshach and Abednego into the fire.

The mighty men were burned.

They were big and bad.

They were followers of a King.

Staunch and secure in their position

With the King.

 

Yet they traded their lives

For an obedience to the

Wrong source.

 

Daniel and his posse

Were straight to the point.

We will not eat from the

King’s meat.

 

We will eat our veggies

Our source comes from God.

Not from the meat and wine of

A raunchy King who serves a pine god.

 

The mighty men of valor died

As they threw us in the pit of fire.

We walked out smelling

Of a walk with our God

 

The one who protected

Us in the fire

Danced with us in the fire

And took us out of the fire.

To burn for principles is mighty and valorous
to survive is only a miracle

I dare say it is time we pulled ourseves out of the fire because some where in the Bible, we were given freedom of choice
