Numbered, Weighed, & Divided
Dan. 5:17-31
I: “God hath numbered and finished.”
1. His days were numbered, his hours and minutes were almost gone.
2. Every breath he drew came from the hand of God.
3. Every step he took were numbered.
4. Every thought and intent of his heart was numbered.
5. Every hair of his head was numbered. Gods all-seeing eye was upon him. “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psa. 90:12.
II: “Thou art Weighed.”
1. He was weighed by past opportunity.
2. He was weighed by past warning.
3. He was weighted by present attitude of scorn and contempt.
4. He was weighed by present actions. “Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.” Job 31:6.
III. “Thy Kingdom is divided.”
1. What you have you are about to lose.
2. Your Kingdom, your lewd women, your drunken companions, you are about to leave.
3, Before daylight he was called to meet the God he had neglected and laughed at.
“We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” Tim. I 6:7
