Rising above the tide comes with a cost…
Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, rose above the tide and were reported
They rose above the tide and their lives were threatened by the king
They rose above the tide and found no support from other Jews
They rose above the tide and they possibly lost the administrative positions they had
They rose above the tide and found themselves in a fiery furnace
But God chose to be with them in the furnace
