BUT EVEN IF

 If the God we serve exists, then He can rescue

us from the furnace of blazing fire, and He can

rescue us from the power of you, the king. But

even if He does not rescue us, we want you as

king to know that we will not serve your gods

or worship the gold statue you set up.

Daniel 3:17-18 CSB

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego -three men forced by a king to bow down and worship his golden statue. Yet, they know they are only called to worship God. But disobeying the king's command will ultimately result in death. So these three men must make a decision. Do we obey the earthly king and go against God, yet live or do we obey our Heavenly King and die?

We read in Daniel 3 that the men choose to obey God over the king. We don't see a struggle. We don't see them going back and forth. We don't see a torment as they decide what they should do. I don't think it was a hard decision or even a question for them. They simply do not bow down.
