When you’re looking over your assets, do you say to yourself, “Look what I’ve accomplished?” Do you consider your parents, teachers, opportunities and God? Nebuchadnezzar the first King of what was considered a world empire had this problem.
Nebuchadnezzar thought he was really something.
Daniel 3:1-2
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Everyone running for office claims to be better than his or her opponent. That has been happening since we became a nation. The man who led the first world empire thought of himself that way.
However, he was going to learn the hard way, when you think you’re something when you’re nothing, you are only deceiving yourself and some of your followers.
Think about it.
