Weighed And Wanting

March 13, 2016 Speaker: Ken Ramey Series: Daniel

Topic: Sovereignty of God Passage: Daniel 5:1–31

Much like his predecessor Nebuchadnezzar, King Belshazzar believed that he and the nation of Babylon were invincible. His tragic testimony serves as a warning of what will happen to any person or nation who arrogantly defies God and fails to give Him the glory as the supreme ruler of the universe who removes and establishes kings and nations according to His sovereign will.

The account given in the first verses of Daniel Chapter 5 can be divided into FIVE ACTS:

1. THE DRUNKEN FEAST (vv. 1-4)

2. THE DEATHLY FEAR (vv. 5-9)

3. THE DISREGARDED FOREIGNER (vv. 10-16)

4. THE DIVINE FORECAST (vv. 17-29)

5. THE DECISIVE FALL (vv. 30-31)

Praise God for being the Most High God who sovereignly removes and establishes kings and nations to accomplish His divine will. Thank Him that even though you have fallen short of His standards and have been weighed and found wanting because of your sin, He graciously provided Jesus to do what you could not do and to die how you should die. Ask God to help you humbly trust Him in the midst of these uncertain times in our nation and plead with Him that America would not forget Him.
