Stories of martyrs inspire me. Courageous survivors of near-martyr experiences, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, also inspire me.
“…the God we serve is able to save us from it [the blazing furnace], and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, we want you to know, O king,... we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up,” (Daniel 3.16-18).
