*DAILY DEW 14/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! 3 _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up"* (Daniel 3:4-5 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The great zeal mankind put into the pursuit of luxury and vanity is another confirmation of the folly in man! Man's folly lies in his quickness to insist on things that are highly unnecessary and vain glorious. When man get power drunk as he is wont to do, he insists on things that are simply wasteful or like they say, white-elephant-project like. It is disappointing enough that the golden image was built in the first place. Recall that only the head of the image was actually made of Gold and was set to represent the era of this ungrateful King. In his own statue, he built everything of gold. A silent but obvious rebellion and protest that only the head of the image was gold. The entire image should be gold-- hence he built it. In his vain mind, a dream is not as powerful as something really tangible. He thought to "cancel" the dream by building an all gold statue. This is also a quiet attempt at resisting the opportunity for the stone carved out without hands to be able to smash the statue from the weak and maleable clay and iron feet as the dream foretold. The consequences of Nebuchadnezzar's stubborn and foolish ways will eventually catch up with him. Such shall be the fate of anyone who fails to stamp out human nature folly by the renewing of their minds and the transformation that comes from such continuous renewal. _MEDITATION:_ Romans 12:2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙮𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
