"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
Even if..
Even if none of my words are fulfilled.
Even if things continue on as they were and no one changes.
Even if my adversary is not exposed.
Even if my name is thrown into the fiery furnace,
I will not submit,
I will not bow down,
to anyone but my God.
He can deliver me,
but even if He does not....
I will still serve Him.
I will still believe in the goodness of my God.
Even if I never feel your love.
Even if nothing changes and all my needs go unmet.
Even if you never shower me with blessings.
Even if my heart is cast into the flames.
I will not submit,
I will not bow down,
to anyone but my God.
He can deliver me,
but even if He does not....
I will still serve Him.
I will still believe in the goodness of my God.
Even if I never hear your voice.
Even if you never show me your face.
Even if I lack all confidence and grace.
Even if my assurance is thrown into the fire.
I will not submit,
I will not bow down,
to anyone but my God.
He can deliver me,
but even if He does not....
I will still serve Him.
I will still believe
in the goodness of my God.
I believe in the goodness of my God.
I believe in the goodness of my God.
I will see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living.
I believe in the goodness of God.

Thanks, Carole. How great that you get to go to St. Petersburg. one of my dreams while I'm on this side of the world. We thought about the congress for the cadets, but it doesn't work with our schedule or finances. I expect to hear about great blessings!
