Daniel 4:34-37
Today's Lesson:
Daniel 4:34-37
"And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?” At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down."
As his understanding returned at the end of the seven years, Nebuchadnezzar blessed, praised, and honored the God of heaven that liveth forever. He acknowledges that it is His kingdom and dominion that is everlasting.
We are but dust, or nothing compared to God. He does according to His will and who are we to bring all the glory upon ourselves and tell God what to do. (Romans 9:20, Job 38-39)
At the same time - Nebuchadnezzar was fully restored to his position with all his counselors and so forth. God could restore him to this position because the king had been humbled. (1 Peter 5:6)
All of God’s works are truth and righteousness. (Deuteronomy 32:3-4 Psalms 98:2) We also see the lengths that God will go to, to bring about the conversion of a soul. He knew what it would take to bring Nebuchadnezzar to the point of following Him, and humbling him so as to separate the pride from his life that was impeding his relationship with God.
I believe Nebuchadnezzar died a converted man as this is the last record of his life. God wishes for each of us to come to Him so that He can exalt us in due time. Do not despair with the trials, turn to God the source of power and life.
