Psalm 34:19 states, “Many are the

Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the furnace they were not in there
alone. There was a fourth person in there with them. They came forth from that fire that had
killed the men who threw them in, without even the smell of smoke upon
them. They were not alone, nor will we
be left alone in our time of affliction.
