Scripture:
• KJV: “And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.” (Daniel 3:27)
• NIV: “They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.” (Daniel 3:27)
• NLT: “Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of smoke!” (Daniel 3:27)
Reflection:
When God delivers, He delivers completely. The men didn’t just survive; they came out without even the smell of smoke. That’s how God restores His children. Maybe your trial left scars emotionally, financially, or relationally. But when God redeems you, He brings you out looking untouched, with a testimony so powerful people marvel at His goodness. Others may wonder how you survived, but your story will carry no bitterness, no residue, only the fragrance of God’s glory. Don’t settle for partial healing or restoration. Believe God for complete deliverance; the kind that leaves no trace of bondage.
Declaration:
“I am coming out of this season without residue; whole, healed, and restored.”
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for being my Deliverer. Restore every place the fire tried to damage in me and let my life carry the fragrance of Your victory. Amen.
