Scripture Reading: Daniel 5
- Why do you suppose King Belshazzar needed to be reminded about Daniel’s existence in verses 11-12? In verse 17, why did Daniel decline the honor offered him for interpreting the writing? How and why does this response seem different from Daniel’s interaction with King Nebuchadnezzar in 4:19? What has happened here through the decades?
- According to Daniel in verses 22-23 what had Belshazzar also gotten wrong? Is there a modern equivalent for these types of sins?
- What is it that Daniel already knows about what God can accomplish and what God expects, according to verses 18-21?
- What do you already know about God’s presence in your own life up until now? What does God expect from you?
- Belshazzar had put himself in a place where he was powerful, but did not hear truth, from God followers like Daniel. How can you become a person open to hearing truth and changing your ways? Who in your life helps you hear truth? How you find a group of people to speak truth to you?
