The Book of Daniel // Week 9
God Humbles the Proud // Daniel 4
Main Theme: God’s Sovereignty
- Praise the Lord who holds all things together, rules all kingdoms, and provides life and every good gift.
- Boast only in the Cross of Jesus Christ. He provided salvation through His humility, not pride!
Sub-Theme: Humble Yourselves
- Where does pride show up?
- Successes, possessions, comfort
- Crippling anxiety that comes from thinking we’re in control of too much
- Focusing on our weaknesses, self-doubts
“Humility is not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less.”
- What is the Path to Humility?
- God gets our attention
- Dreams
- Glimpses of an outcome
- Success not fulfilling
- Gifts or success being stripped away
- Someone speaking into your life
- Reaching the end of your rope
- God changes where we look
- No longer to self or down on others
- But UP to God
- God changes how we view things and treat others
- Everything we have is FROM God
- Everything we have is FOR God
- Humility before God causes us to be humble, loving, and patient toward others.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- How specifically can we pray and care for each other this week?
