5. King Belshazzar showed just how little he regarded the God of Israel. Although he was a successor of Nebuchadnezzar, he apparently had not learned from Nebuchadnezzar’s experience with the God of Heaven. Belshazzar celebrated his riches and power with a total disregard for the God to whom the sacred vessels were dedicated. Read Luke 12:16-21. What does Jesus say will happen to those who refuse to acknowledge God and His Lordship?
6. Personal: Do you live as if you acknowledge God as Lord of your life? If not, how do you think your life would change if you did this?
