“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” (Daniel 4:37)
In this chapter, Nebuchadnezzar tells his personal story of conversion. In the beginning, everything was for his own glory. Afterall, he was the king of the most powerful empire in the world. But, as he concludes this chapter, he testifies of the living God.
First, he says all God’s ways are correct. Second, he says God has ways to humble the proud. These are both true and powerful statements. They are also evidence of a significant shift in Nebuchadnezzar’s thinking.
Father, please help me to be as in tune with you as Nebuchadnezzar was. Amen.
