In Daniel 4, “The Fall of the Proud”, King Nebuchadnezzar shared his own story, a testimony of power, pride, and ultimately, mercy.

Though he ruled the most powerful empire on earth, his heart was filled with arrogance. God gave him a vision of a great tree—strong, visible, and life-giving—only to show that it would be cut down. And yet, even in judgment, there was grace. Nebuchadnezzar’s downfall wasn’t the end of his story. It was the beginning of his recognition that “the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms.”

Key Takeaways:

• Pride always comes before a fall, but God’s mercy can meet us even in our lowest moment.
• God humbles those who exalt themselves and lifts up those who acknowledge His rule.
• Every story of discipline can become a testimony of restoration.
• True greatness begins not with self-promotion, but with surrender.

This coming weekend, we’ll move from one king’s humbling to another’s downfall. Belshazzar may have mocked the sacred, but God never overlooks what’s done in defiance of Him.

Don’t miss this powerful message as we explore what happens when judgment finally arrives and why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
