Children often seek to be the center of attention. We’ve all seen kids who think the world is their stage. Their antics are cute…for a while. Eventually they become obnoxious and sometimes even embarrassing. It is one of the responsibilities of parents to limit their performance. But seeking the center of attention is not just the behavior of children. We have met a couple of proud kings in the book of Daniel who sought to be the center of attention. In chapter 3, Nebuchadnezzar builds a monument to demonstrate his greatness. In chapter 5, Belshazzar throws a massive party and drinks from the gold and silver objects of the Jewish temple to demonstrate his importance. Today we meet another king from another kingdom who becomes the center of attention. By the end of chapter 6 he willingly relinquishes the throne of his own selfie kingdom to the rightful King.
