Daniel 4:1-37
Pride. We all suffer from it.
Nebuchadnezzar learned a valuable lesson. He was king of Babylon between 605BC to 562BC and attributed his great prosperity to his own mighty power.
Nebuchadnezzar had been forewarned in an alarming dream that his kingdom would be removed from his power for a period of time and that he would be made to eat grass like an ox until he had been humbled. This came to pass.
Nebuchadnezzar then repents and his reason is returned to him. He acknowledges and praises the Most High. He has learned that the King of heaven rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will,;for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
What an amazing testimony!
James 4:5b-6
Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Romans 12:3
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
