Daniel 5:20-24

God is in total control and we need to bow before His power and His majesty! 
Nothing, absolutely nothing, is done on heaven OR earth nor anyone appointed to a position of power that He does not know about. 

We need to repent and invite Him into not only our life but our nation and our world. 

It is not in man to know the way to go only God can direct the path we were made to walk in.

Power corrupts and total power corrupts totally when its source does not come from God and it is up to us....

We can learn the easy way of Christ whose burden is easy OR He will teach us and the world the lessons we need to learn through experience.

Daniel 5:20-24
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 21 Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

22 “But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. 


24A man’s steps are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way? 
Proverbs 20:24

23O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. 
Jeremiah 10:23

30 The king spoke, saying, “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

37 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. 
Daniel 4:37

18That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth. 
Psalm 83:18


24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 
Acts 17:24–26

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 
Romans 1:21
