The worse you have it, the less you can tell. That's pride. It is so difficult to recognise. But Daniel 4 reminds us that God resists and humbles the proud - as He did to Nebuchadnezzar, whose pride was humbled through God's extraordinary dealings with him. It confronts us with the reality that our pride must be recognized and dealt with before it's too late. This is a practical episode, teaching us what pride is, how to recognize it, and what to do about it.

It is easy to look at the church today and see what is wrong — failures, compromise, poor leadership, and frustration. But these are not new problems. From the earliest days, the same pressures were present. This episode steps back to see the bigger picture, and why, despite everything, the church still endures.
