Trust God For Peace That Puts Out The Flames In The Fiery Furnace This morning I went outside on my deck and it was so peaceful. The wind was blowing and the weather was just right. The leaves on the trees were so green and so thick in the back of my yard that I could barely see the neighbor’s house. The leaves were swaying as the wind was blowing and I was engulfed by such serenity and peace. At that moment, I had to thank God for this life that He has blessed me to have. As I looked at the trees, the sky, and all of nature that God has made, I thanked Him for the peace I felt in spite of all the problems I have. There is so much hope in God because He can do anything. He can make the wind blow. He can change the trees from bare branches into thick, green, and beautiful leaves. He can change winter into spring, spring into summer, summer into fall, and fall into winter. He can make the sun shine not just outside, but in our lives. So we must never give up on God. We should always believe that God can do anything. God can change our lives in the twinkling of an eye. We must believe in the power of God. All we have to do is look around to see what He has already done for us. If we just look back over our lives, we can see how far He has brought us. When we take time to reflect, we should be thankful and hopeful for our future. We should feel blessed and highly favored. I do not know how my life will change when I retire from medicine. But I do know that God knows. I also know that with each God directed transition that my life has taken, I have been truly blessed. I know that trials will come, but if I keep God first in my life, He will help me fight my battles. So we must not dwell on the trials and the heartache and helplessness that they bring. Instead, we must concentrate on having a closer relationship with God so that He can direct us through those trials and out of the fiery furnace. We do not have to know exactly where God is leading us. All we need to do is to follow Him. We must take the time to have frequent, quiet, undistracted moments with God so that we can feel His presence and His power in our lives. If we trust Him and believe what He said in His Word, then it does not matter where we are or what we are doing because we know that all is well. It does not matter whether you are rich or whether you are poor, you can have peace in God if you trust Him and yield to Him. It does not matter whether you're sick or well, you can have peace in God if you trust Him and yield to Him. It does not matter whether you're black, white, yellow or brown, you can have peace in God if you trust Him and yield to Him. It does not matter whether your problems are large or small, you can have peace in God if you trust and yield to Him. It does not matter whether you have a mansion or whether you are homeless, you can still have peace in God if you trust Him and yield to Him.

About the Book
So many people are defeated by life’s trials and tribulations because they put their trust in man and not in God. Trials will always occur in some form or fashion in our lives. We are either entering a trial, in the midst of a trial or getting over a trial. When we go through trials we all react differently especially when we face fiery trials and tribulations. Your fiery trial may be different than mine. Fiery trials may involve your health, finances, family problems, addictions, legal problems, homelessness and poverty. Some people react to trials through worldly solutions such as, alcohol, drugs, and searching for answers in all the wrong places from all the wrong people. Some people check out completely by committing suicide because they feel that there is no other way out of their circumstances. Some people go to God for answers and they find peace because they trust God to solve their problems. This book teaches us to trust God in all circumstances no matter what our fiery trials may be. Proverbs 3:5 and 6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding: In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.” We should trust God even in the fiery furnace just like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did when they had their fiery furnace trial. This book reveals how you can have hope in hopeless situations, comfort and joy in the midst of suffering and peace in the midst of chaos when you trust God even in the fiery furnace.
