Daniel 3

And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. v.27

Read chapter 3
One of the most well known stories in scripture by little kids is this chapter of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego in the fiery furnace.  It's a sweet story to read as you get older too and see more of the details.   One of the craziest details that has stood out to me is that they don't even smell like smoke!  One thing I can't stand is smelling like a bonfire after I've left the bonfire.  I wasn't even in the actual fire and smoke embeds in every inch of me, my hair, clothes, skin.  Yet I love the metaphor we can take here: to be delivered from Christ   from hardship doesn't leave a lingering smell of that evil.  Bible teacher Beth Moore declares in her Daniel study, "The way to avoid getting burned is to bathe in God's presence" (p.47)  Notice too who's all in this scene, it's not the whole city, but all the "VIPs" of the king.  How much easier is it to people please and do what the elite want or do than when it's a nobody pressuring you?  Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego weren't seeking position and gain from the world, they sought God and ultimately were saved because of it, not only from the immediate fiery flames but from eternal fire as well.  This is the last we read of these three men and what an example and honor they were of men for God. 
We've all faced fiery situations and have come out of them somehow either from it, through it and by it.  What are some examples of each of these ways and how your faith has been built, refined and perfected?
