Scripture/Text: Daniel 1; The story of the fall of king Belshazzar in Daniel chapter 5 illustrates how unrepented pride and arrogance will eventually face unavoidable consequences. When we ignore God's signs, dismiss his sovereignty - thumbing our noses at his power, God, although patient with us, will eventually bring judgment - both personally and corporately. It does not pay to ignore the sovereign hand of God Most High writing on the walls of our lives and times.
