God Humbles the Proud

Scripture:

Daniel 4:37  "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar , praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."

Observation:

Nebuchadnezzar had been taken by God from being king to acting like an animal in the field.  He went from kingship to literally being like a wild animal.  He was then restored to his role as king.  When restored, he praised, extolled and honored the king of heaven.  He saw God's ability personally and gave him praise for it.

Application:

God always humbles the proud and gives grace to the humble.  God is able to bring anyone down from their high place.  He is God and nobody is above Him.  He can lift up and He can put down.  He is amazing!  May we praise Him before we are humbled by Him.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, I honor You today.  You are incredible and I worship You.  May Your name be praised in every nation of the earth and may Your kingdom ever increase.  Let my life be a life that honors You and gives You praise.  Help me to walk in humility and to know Your power.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
