5. Another in the Fire: When We Lose Sight of What's Important

The king in our lesson today thought he had it made. He thought he could hold God in his hand, belittle God, and determine what God would do. But the writing on the wall said otherwise. The lesson we learn is: if we think we can hold God in our little hands, we venture into territory we don’t belong. We will be weighed and found wanting before God. Like the king, we don’t always heed this warning. Thankfully, Jesus paid the price for us. Now, God gives a different writing. Not on a wall, but in a book. His book. The Bible. With the writing found in God’s Word, we are assured our fate is different than the foolish king.Support the show
