Why Some Great Men Fall. Part [14] 09/23/2025 (Morning thought)

Daniel 2: 25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

[2] Avoid like the plague, the tendency, and the habit of taking praise to yourself from fellow fallen mortals. When persons might shower you with praise, let it be promptly directed to God, and if persons insist on praising you, run for your life. Satan deals in accusation, as well as in praise, and some world leaders have now discovered that this is the key to getting concessions from anyone who suffers with praise.

In fact, if you are the type of person who gets going, after you are praised and flattered by people, it is just a matter of time before you will be praised into doing some stupid things. Let’s take some examples from the Bible so you would be able to identify it when it occurs, even from people who may be ignorant of what they are doing. This point could not be overstated enough since it is of critical importance to those in high places. In fact, it could be a life and death matter, that’s how serious it is.

Daniel 2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art you able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king.

Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
