4:1-3

There had to have been many years that passed between end of Ch3 and the beginning of Ch4. Nebuchadnezzar is writing to the entire empire about what happened to him.
As the king told people about his experience, what did he acknowledge?

How often do we declare God’s work in our lives?

What has He done in your life that others need to know about?

From what we already know about our Heavenly Father, do we completely believe that God kingdom exists for eternity?

What will it take for us to be un-afraid to let everyone around us know that we are God’s child and that He is our God?

v4-17

How often do we receive a message from the almighty alive God?
____________

The question for us is “Are we willing to listen to God when He speaks?”

Who did he call in 1st to interrupt his dream?

What happens when we become proud of ourselves?

Proverbs 16:18
Psalm 10:4
1 John 2:16

What was going to happen to Nebuchadnezzar because of his pride? V25-26
___________________________________________________

With the tone of voice in v27, do you think that maybe God was willing to forgive the king of his pride?
___________________________________________________

The question now before king Nebuchadnezzar was whether or not he was going to listen and heed the Holy One.

The question before each of us is the same. Are we going to listen and heed the Holy One? _____________________________________

How many times have we missed God’s great blessing upon our lives because we were unwilling to listen and follow His will for our lives?

Revelation 3:17
Job 35:12-13
Proverbs 11:2
1 John 2:16

How many times have we been guilty of bragging about things we have done or accomplished? How easy is it for us to fall into the pride/bragging trap?

How can we avoid the bragging pride trap?
