| Second Day: Read Daniel 3, concentrating on verses 1-7.
1. What object did King Nebuchadnezzar make, and where did he place it? (Daniel 3:1)
2. a. Whom did the king summon to come for the dedication of the image? (Daniel 3:2)
b. Where did Nebuchadnezzar gather them together? (Daniel 3:3b)
3. a. According to Daniel 3:4b, who was represented in this group?
b. What were they required to do, and at what signal? (Daniel 3:5)
c. What would happen to those who refused to comply? (Daniel 3:6)
4. a. Read Exodus 20:3-5a. What are God’s instructions regarding whom or what we are to worship?
b. How does Romans 1:22-23 describe people who disobey these instructions?
5. a. Challenge: An “idol” is anything that keeps people from worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. This could be anything that becomes such an obsession in a person’s life that it leaves no room for the worship of God. It might not be made of gold or silver—it might not be a physical object at all. It might simply be a hobby, an intellectual pursuit, or a future goal. None of these are wrong and condemned by God unless it becomes an “idol” to the person pursuing it. Give examples of what you think people today have made into “idols.”
b. Personal: Look very carefully at your own life. Do you find any “idols” which are more important to you than your worship of the Lord Jesus? Read Psalm 139:23-24. Would you like to make this your prayer?
