Proverbs 16:18 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (September-16-2023)

John Hagee (September-16-2023) Daily Devotional: Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

King Nebuchadnezzar had another dream, and Daniel was terrified to share this interpretation: Nebuchadnezzar would be driven away from society to live among the wild animals; he would eat grass and be drenched by heaven’s dew. Daniel pled with the king to renounce his sin and do what was right (Daniel 4).

Twelve months later, the king surveyed his domain from his palace roof. He said, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?” (Daniel 4:30). Immediately, a voice from heaven informed the king that he would lose his mind until he truly admitted that God was sovereign over all.

For seven years, Nebuchadnezzar roamed among the animals until his hair grew wild and his nails were like a bird’s claws. Finally, he lifted his eyes to acknowledge God. In Daniel 4:37, he abjectly confessed, “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.”

Pride and arrogance lead to strife and shame, but wisdom and honor reside in the humble. God will not share His glory with another. Let us give all honor and praise to the only One Who is worthy.

Today's Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you walk humbly with God all the days of your life and always give thanks to the Father of Lights for every good and perfect gift.
