Daniel 3:18

But even if he does not [even if he does not save us], know, O king, that we will not worship your gods or the golden statue you have set up."
[It is likely that these events took place after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC. If the God of the Jews had been unable to defend his own temple, then Nebuchadnezzar must be stronger than their God. Nebuchadnezzar is confident of victory and feels like a god.
The three Jewish boys, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, make a statement of true faith. They refuse to bow down, regardless of whether they are saved or not, see Heb. 11:33–35; Matt. 10:28. Does God have all power? Yes. Can God free believers from all problems and difficulties? Yes. Does God free believers from all difficult situations? No. Sometimes God allows trials, see Rom. 5:1–8. Sometimes the purpose of the trials is obvious, other times it is not, but God's desire is for His children to trust Him, see Isa. 51:12; Job 13:15; Matt. 10:28; Acts 4:18–19; Rev 12:11. God does not guarantee a problem-free life, but he promises to always be with us, see John 16:33; Matt. 28:20.]
