King Belshazzar, who followed Nebuchadnezzar, was in a place of power and had no regard for God or the house of God. During the events that led to Daniel being brought in to read the writing on the wall, the king is quickly sobered and reminded he is not in control of all things. Daniel explained to the king he would not remain in power, and because of his disregard for God, his kingdom would be divided. Daniel remained faithful to God and spoke truth to the king. Belshazzar made Daniel third highest in the kingdom and the Babylonian king was killed the same night.

Faithfulness to God changes everything. It causes repentance, melts pride and allows us to see, in humility, our hearts are in need of a rescue. Only Jesus can create a new heart within us. 

 

Daniel 5:1-31
