Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon | The Destruction of Pride (4:1-37)

Daniel 4:1-37

Lessons Learned from the New Nebuchadnezzar:

There are invisible spiritual realities that must be understood and accepted not only for an accurate worldview but also for a right relationship with the God who made the world. (And deep down, we ALL know it.)

Psalm 14:1 // Romans 1:19-20

The pride of unrepentant sin leads people to do stupid, crazy, animalistic things, bringing their lives to spiritual and sometimes physical ruin.

Psalm 32:9, 49:20 // Proverbs 26:11

God will mercifully allow His people to hit rock–bottom in this life if that is what it takes for them to repent and humble themselves before Him.

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”
— C.S. Lewis

Romans 5:8

There is no one too far from God or too deep in their sin to be saved by His grace.

1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Isaiah 1:18 // Psalm 103:11-12
