Numbers 12 talks about a time when Miriam and Aaron complain to their brother Moses. This made the Lord extremely unhappy and He called upon Miriam and Aaron. Basically, God was telling them not to complain to their brother like that. When God speaks to prophets, He would speak to them through visions and dreams. But Moses was different. “Not so with My servant Moses… I speak with him face to face.” Numbers 12:7-8. That’s pretty awesome. Moses was so special that God spoke to him in person, not through dreams. Why? God said, “He is faithful in all My house.” verse 7.
God did something similar with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. When their faith was put to the test by being forced to worship an idol, they chose to stay faithful to God, regardless of consequences. “If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. Buf if not, let it be known to you, O kng, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Daniel 3:17, 18. That is quite the faith expressed here. As a result, these men were thrown into the fiery furnace. God responded to their faith. God not only saved them from burning to death, but He did someting extraordinary. Nebuchadnezzar cried out, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” verse 25. How cool is that? Jesus Himself came down to be with the men in the midst of their trials.
This Jesus gives us the same promise to us that He will be with us in person. Jesus promised, “I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:3. I am glad that I can walk with Jesus and be with Him in person. We will see Jesus. Let us be faithful to Him no matter what.
