2024-10-06: Pastor Mark Quist – Daniel 4 – Daniel: About Kingdoms and A Kingdom: The Sovereignty of God; Humbled Pride and the Eating of Grass
On to Daniel 4, another dream, another interpretation, God shows up… and a powerful lesson on pride and its cure – humility. So many Scripture texts and stories speak about the intermingling of pride and humility. Can you think of any? A quick search will yield a harvest of scriptures from beginning to end, so it’s easy to find.
In Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar quickly forgets what God has done in the past, and in another dream, Daniel provides interpretation. God is going to humble King Nebuchadnezzar, but Daniel hints at there being time to repent… and God may relent. But the King seems to forget or ignore this dream and its warning. God humbles the King in a deeply humiliating way. What will the King do now?
