As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
In 2017 Nerd wallet did a credit card debt survey and it showed that credit card debt has increased to an estimate 927 billion which is a 5% increase from the previous year.
I shared this statistic because more and more people are going further into debt. Above all, we are following the world’s ways and not Gods ways when it comes to managing the financial resources God has blessed us with. Our microwave society has caused us to be impatient and not willing to wait until we have the money saved.
Furthermore, Verse 7 tells us that “all” the people, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the image of Gold.
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego decided not to bow down to the gold image and defile themselves. Why were they able to not to defile themselves? I believe the following will help us not to bow down to the world’s financial trappings or financial idols.
Therefore, the world says that the following should not take priority in your life over God.
Your home value, income, clothes, stocks, jewelry, pension, cars, boats, your business.
I must say that there is nothing inherently wrong with any of the above but many people are placing these things above God and bowing down to them.
Depend on God
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego understood the following and was able to not defile themselves and bow down to a golden image.
They had a complete dependence on God’s provision- Hebrews 13:5 “Never will I leave you: never will I forsake you”
Everyone knew God provides daily Luke 11:3- “ Gives us each day our daily bread”
They did not see themselves as inferior to everyone else- Psalm 139:14 “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
They did not compare themselves with others
If you find yourself bowing down to the trappings of this world there is hope for you. The key is to find out what God’s word says about money and follow his plan. When Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego decided not to defile themselves and eat only vegetables and drink water after the 10 days they looked healthier and better nourished. You too will also feel less stressed, feel better and every financial decision will become a spiritual decision.
