One might suffer for a variety of reasons. In Matthew 10 and Acts 20 we read of suffering for the sake of righteousness. We also read that, in such circumstances, we are never alone; God is with us, sometimes via human beings.
Regardless of the cause of one’s suffering, the occasion to recognize one’s complete dependence on God presents itself. If one is wise, one will acknowledge one’s powerlessness and embrace the spiritual opportunity. Such a one will learn the lesson of the story of Gideon–the saving power is that of God, not mere mortals.
Protestant versification varies from the Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox pattern in places.
The fictional stories in Daniel 4-6 are morality tales about kings who opposed God, sometimes out of hubris. Two of the three med bad ends; the other changed his ways. Hubris, of course, is that which goes before the fall. It constitutes making oneself one’s own idol.
Glory, of course, belongs to God. Thus, in Revelation 21-22, God and the Lamb (Jesus) are the Temple and the origin of light. This is beautiful and metaphorical imagery which should influence how we who call ourselves Christians order our priorities. God–specifically Christ–should occupy the focal point of our attentions and affections.
We are, as a psalmist said, like grass–grass which bears the Image of God and is slightly lower than the angels–but grass nevertheless. So may we think neither too highly nor too lowly of ourselves and each other.
