Nebuchadnezzar had been warned in a dream that something was going to happen to him if he didn’t honor God. Sure enough, he was standing on his balcony one day and when looking out over Babylon, he spouted out that all that grandeur was brought about by HIS OWN hand. A voice came out of heaven and spoke that his kingdom would be taken from him for 7 years. Imagine that! But it was too late. He spent the next 7 years as a loony old man, eating grass and his nails and hair grew out wild. Then, he humbled himself and said: “Now, I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of Heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase” (Daniel 4:37, KJV). What a lesson he had to learn in order to know that all things come from God, and that we are just positioned here to serve and love HIM!
