But if not.

Daniel 3:17-18: 'Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods.'

Three Hebrew boys faced the furnace. Their faith had no exit clause.

He can save us. And even if he doesn't — we still won't bow.

That's mature faith — loyal whether or not the miracle comes.
