Today’s Bible Reading: Daniel 3, 4; Psalm 81; Revelation 17

Scripture Focus:

Daniel 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.

Observation:

Nebuchadnezzar was king over a mighty empire and great city. Not realizing it was God who raised him up for His own purposes, Nebuchadnezzar pridefully took the credit for what had been accomplished. God humbled him for 7 years, and then restored him. That’s when he made this statement: “Those who walk in pride He is able to put down.”

Application:

Anything I have a hand in building can become a point of pride. This is a very dangerous place to be, for God hates pride and loves humility. May I see my accomplishments for what they are—God working through me to fulfill His purposes!

Prayer:

Father God, may I see you as the president and CEO of my home, my ministry, and my business. I’m just working for you!
