Mid-week reminder - "Who or what are you praising?" (Daniel 4)

For anyone at New Covenant who heard my sermon last Sunday (or listened to it online), here is a mid-week reminder of the Next Steps:

    - Have you read through Daniel 4 again?

    - Have you taken some time to read Hebrews 12:7-11?

    - Have you had a chance to honestly answer the Personal Questions to Ponder?

Here are the Personal Questions if you don't have your notes readily available:

    - Who or what are you praising?

    - How are you like Nebuchadnezzar?

    - What needs to change in your life in order to give God the primary praise?

    - What practical steps are you going to make to allow the Holy Spirit to help you in this/these area(s) in your life?

    - Is there a “Nebuchadnezzar” in your life you need to pray for, care for, and/or share with?

I've enjoyed hearing feedback this week from many of how God used last Sunday's sermon to challenge and/or encourage them.  I prayed today through the cards that were submitted Sunday by those indicating their response to the Next Steps.  I'm praying though that this isn't just a one week thing for those of you who have been exalting in too much self-praise.  The biggest encouragement I could get is to know that the work of God's Spirit in you (and your response to Him) is continuing and you (and me!) are daily moving further from your crazy self-praise to giving God your primary praise.

Feel free to let me know via Facebook or Twitter or email how God is continuing to work in your heart!
