Daniel 4:30-31, 37 NKJV
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?” While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 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.

† Shalom †......! Day #362. Do you know that pride goes before destruction? Let us pray. Father, let us not take pride in everything we do but give glory to You. Let us humble before You Lord, and live humbly before You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
The proverbs says that, pride goes before destruction. In king Nebuchadnezzar's case it was true. He boasted about how great Babylon was that he built for his dwelling and on the spot God rebuked him and he lost his Kingdom. We must again realize one truth that everything we have is from God. All our talents and giftings is from God and we cannot boast of it as if it was from our own. Sometimes I see servants of God ask for praises for the ministry they do, this is totally wrong. How dare we Steal God's glory?
This is an account of how God rebuked Nebuchadnezzar because he took pride in Babylon's glory. God rebuked him and he repented. Please I beseech you brothers and sisters, let us serve with a humble heart and not prideful. It's like we are digging our own grave. The ministry we are involved will collapsed simply because of our pride. So be aware and be alert, lest the devil deceive you.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
