Chronological Bible Reading for September 15
Daniel 4-6

Daniel 4:9 – Nebuchadnezzar is still clinging to his own god, even though he recognizes Daniel as the messenger of the true God, he does not worship Him.
Daniel 4:17 – God is giving Nebuchadnezzar another lesson to teach him that his worship of false idols is useless. God shows His love for Nebuchadnezzar by giving him these lessons so that he may turn away from idol worship and to the worship of God and be redeemed unto glory.
Daniel 4:30 – Pride cometh before destruction. The promise of the lesson was not enough the lesson must occur before knowledge can be received. One of our biggest problems in our sinfulness is pride. Eve knew she was not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil but she wanted to be elevated to know what God knew.
Daniel 4:34 – Now that the lesson has been taught and received the knowledge received can be used to improve the usefulness of the student.
Daniel 5:22 – The lesson learned by one student does not always teach another student and a different lesson may be needed. Sometimes a student can’t learn the lesson and fails the class.
Daniel 6:7 – These officials did not believe in real gods. They knew that handmade images could do nothing. They also coveted Daniel’s position and hated his honest accountability.
Daniel 6:8 – Now the law is not just only to the king but is unchangeable once made. The Medes and Persians may have thought that having this first rule that a law could not be changed would cause a ruler to consider the ramifications before enacting a law that was unwise. But people being people act in their own sin and pride rather in others behalf.
Daniel 6:24 – Not only did the covetous men pay with their lives but their sons and wives did also. Sin has an effect greater than just the action. Once released it spreads like a virus. Sin does not need contact to spread because it is built in from Adam’s fall, therefore we are all guilty of sin. We have all put our own wishes ahead of God’s, thus violating the first commandment.
Daniel 6:26 – This is the second time a king has given honor to God because of the faithfulness that God gave to Daniel.
