1 Walking humbly with your god – Part 3 Daniel 5:1- 8 & 18-31
But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this… (Daniel 5:22)

2 Our Days are numbered The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away…(Psalm 90:10)

3 Our days are numbered Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom… (Psalm 90:12)

4 Our days are numbered ...Belshazzar goes even further in his sacrilege. He is not only committing blasphemy, he combines it with idolatry. Here is where his profanation surpasses that of Nebuchadnezzar. He uses God’s holy goblets to toast the lifeless idols of his own religion. He spits in God’s eye, as it were, and then he goes over to a statue that he himself has created (v. 4) and expects that lifeless hunk to protect him from what is to come.

5 Our days are judged

6 Our days are judged Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you…. first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye… (Matthew 7:1-5)

7 Our days are judged Neither are we to be morally neutral as we live in a world of injustice, oppression, and licentiousness. We do not seek the destruction of godless people, rather, their redemption. After all, every one of us who today call ourselves Christians were without God. And even after becoming Christians, we still sin. We must never, ever condemn any other person without a full acknowledgment of the darkness of our own hearts and the destructive nature of many of our actions. We must take the log out of our own eyes before we can remove the speck from someone else’s (Matt. 7:5).

8 Our days are in the judges hands

9 Walking humbly with our god
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom… (Psalm 90:12)
