The Biblical Remix – My Last

Daniel 5:1-4 – http://bit.ly/biblicalremixmylast

King Belshazzar was going in with his peoples at this huge party he threw.  They were popping bottles and having a good time.

Belshazzar was feeling so nice he gave the command to bring out the gold and silver mugs which were used in the temple in Jerusalem.  Those mugs were used by the priests in worshipping God before the Jewish people had been captured.

As they filled up the gold and silver mugs with rosay, a DJ was playing this Big Sean song in the background:

“I’mma hit this drink up like it’s my last, I’mma hit this night up like it’s my last…swear i’mma do it like I, Like I never had, Like I never had it at all all all all, all all all all…”

Reflection:

Some people believe if you ain’t doing it big, you ain’t doing nothing at all.  That was exactly the lifestyle of King Belshazzar.  Unfortunately the king did not know that night was going to be his last.  He wound up being killed.

Too many of us make poor decisions thinking we have to show off or look good amongst our peers.  It ain’t that serious.  You don’t have to prove a damn thing to anybody.

Also too many of us live like there is no tomorrow.  We have a momentary lifestyle.  I party hard to make me happy now.  I spend money (I don’t have) to make me happy now.  I max out credit cards because there is no future.  There is only now.

The bible says there is a way that seems right to a person, but in the end it leads to death.  Don’t let that be you.

Having worked under King Ahasuerus, Haman got promoted to the highest ranking official in the government.  The King even ordered his servants to bow and pay homage to Haman wherever he was.

As Haman stepped outside of the palace with a new swag, this Chris Brown song was playing in the background.

“Look at me now, look at me now, Oh, I’m getting paper, Look at me now, oh look at me now, Yeah, Fresher than a…”

Reflection:

The danger of pride is that it puffs us up and makes us think we are all that.  The Bible says pride comes before a fall.

Even when we are promoted, we ought to remain humble knowing our promotion does not come from man, but our promotion comes from God.

Jose was not the baby daddy so he was ready to bounce on the pregnant Maria. Before God intervened by speaking to Jose through a dream, Jose was singing this Chris Brown song:

“I’m chuckin my deuces up to her, I’m movin’ on to something better, better, better, No more tryin’ to make it work, You made me wanna say bye-bye, say bye-bye…”
