Looking for Yourself in a Bible Story — July 1, 2009

Summary: Why did Nebuchadnezzar keep calling on his "magicians, astrologers and soothsayers" after they were wrong so many times before? Why is it that even when we know a habit is counterproductive, we often keep doing it?

Verse: "Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation."
—Daniel 4:6-7
