Taj san snih ja, car Navuhodonosor; a ti, Valtasare, kaži šta znači, jer nijedan mudrac u carstvu mom ne može da mi kaže šta znači; a ti možeš, jer je u tebi duh svetih bogova.
Danilo 4:18

This week is the 4th week in our series of "Love over Ego," and in this story a mighty king is humbled by God for his lack of humility. It's actually a familiar story we can see in life where people rise to great heights only to suffer a great fall. The Scriptures teach us to be humble, and if we can let go of our ego enough to become a servant we'll find that there's tremendous healing to be found in humility. I found a great quote by CS Lewis on humility... he said "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." Well said. Let's give it a shot.

Isaiah 47:10-12
10
For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
11
Therefore evil will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and mischief will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you don't know.
12
"Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
