This was in the footnotes of my study Bible and I felt like I needed to share it:

"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were pressured to deny God, but they chose to be faithful to Him no matter what happened! They trusted God to deliver them, but they were determined to be faithful regardless of the consequences.  If God always rescued those who were true to Him, Christians would not need faith.  Their religion would be a great insurance policy, and there would be lines of selfish people ready to sign up.  We should be faithful to serve God whether He intervenes on our behalf or not.  Our eternal reward is worth any suffering we may have to endure first."
