To give you a little back ground on this verse for today, King Nebuchadnezzar had another dream and again none of his ungodly advisers could tell him what it meant. Daniel was called in and He interpreted the dream for the King. It was not good news. Basically the dream told the King that because of his pride before God he would be brought down. His Kingdom would be taken from him for a time and he would live among the animals but when he would come to his senses and humble himself before God his kingdom would be restored. Guess what it happened just as predicted. This was the Kings response after he came to his senses!
Daniel 4:37
37 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.
What can we learn from this? First if we don't have God in the proper place on our priority list he will bring us to our knees sooner or later. If we humble ourselves before God on this side of heaven He will restore us as we accept and worship His Son. If we do not we will bow in judgment as he casts us into hell. Secondly we need to be praising the King of heaven for everything! He is truth and his ways are justice...surrender and follow with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength!
Take time and read Daniel 4...some very good things from God's work to think about!
