“Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?”
—Daniel 4:30
Thought Of The Day...
King Nebuchadnezzar was full of himself. In effect, he said, “I have built this great city of Babylon, and I am in control. I am better than others and work harder. Look at how smart I am. Others owe me honor and glory.”
Earlier in Daniel 4 we learn that Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that made him afraid. Daniel interpreted the dream, telling the king that he would become like an animal if he did not give up his sinful pride. But Nebuchadnezzar didn’t listen.
What was the cure for Nebuchadnezzar’s sin? He needed an act of God to have his soul relocated. The dream was fulfilled, and he became like an animal for a while. After his humiliation and restoration, the king said, “Now I … praise and … glorify the King of heaven. All those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” Nebuchadnezzar also saw that his kingdom of Babylon was a gift from God and that God was the one who made him prosper.
The cure for Nebuchadnezzar—and for us—is possible because Jesus Christ came to this world as a servant. He suffered the pangs of hell on our behalf. His sacrifice can cure the sin of pride—and all other sins—if we but confess our sins to him.
Prayer...
Heavenly Father, We come before you in the humblest way we know how, recognizing that without you, we are nothing. We have seen the consequences of pride and selfishness in the story of Daniel 4:30, and we ask for your forgiveness for any moments when we have acted in the same way.
Father, we know that only through your Son, Jesus Christ, can we be truly set free from the grip of sin and death. We thank you for the sacrifice that He made for us on the cross, and we pray that we may never take it for granted.
Lord, as we strive to follow your example, we ask that you would help us to rid ourselves of pride and selfishness. Instead, fill us with your love, compassion, and humility so that we may reflect your character to those around us.
May your name be glorified in our lives, and may we always seek to bring honor to you. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Have a Blessed Sunday service and God bless.
