Daniel 4This letter, preserved in the Bible in its original Aramaic, is from one of the most powerful men who ever lived. It is a testimony of king Nebuchadnezzar of a God more powerful than his goddess. The Chaldeans worshipped the queen of heaven, and had corrupted the Jews to do the same (Jer. 7:18; 44:17ff, 25). But he pays homage here to the LORD, the King of heaven. All the LORD’s “works are right and his ways are just; and” the great king Nebuchadnezzar, who walked in pride, the LORD was able to humble.
LORD, do not allow us to go through our lives thinking that we are great. Show us your greatness, and the wisdom of acknowledging it before others.
