Gentlemen,
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” ~ Proverbs 16:18
King Nebuchadnezzar certainly illustrates this axiom in Daniel 4, plus he testifies to the results of repentance. Download the Daniel 4 handout and bring it with you Monday night. In addition, think about these questions as you read through the chapter:
- Nebuchadnezar was warned of God’s coming judgment, yet did nothing about it. What does that reveal about his “faith”?
- How did this change by the end of the chapter?
- What keeps us from repenting even when we are clear about our wrongdoing?
- In what ways have you seen pride function as a destructive force?
- How do you suppose Nebuchadnezzar approached his kingdom differently after receiving his second chance?
Rick H. is bringing the dessert, which will be served at 7 pm … the study starts shortly after that.
