Chapters 4 and 5 of Daniel tell stories of two kings and their contrasting reactions to the warnings of God. One humbled himself, while the other persisted in his pride. This week, listen to Rev. Jeremiah Cheung as he discusses the downfall of continuing a life of pride before God. “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
King Belshazzar lived a life of pride and was unrepentant despite Daniel’s warning. God destroyed his empire in response to his hardened heart. In this message, Ptr. Genesis Tan explains how God humbles the proud and rewards the humble. May we examine our lives and ask God to make us sensitive to any pride that displeases Him.
Napapahamak ang mga taong mapagmataas. Pakinggan natin si Ptr. Allan Rillera itong linggo upang alamin ang kahalagahan ng pagpapakumbaba at pakikinig sa babala ng Diyos laban sa pagiging mayabang.
King Nebuchadnezzar ruled with pride and arrogance. But in witnessing God’s mighty hand, he eventually realized that God alone is the true source of power, righteousness, and justice. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us to ask and examine ourselves: “Like Nebuchadnezzar, are we in need of God’s humbling and awakening?”
