We Must Be Humbled

Daniel 4:3  
"How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! 
his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his 
dominion is from generation to generation."

       How great are his signs! Nothing less than a real change of heart could cause such a confession as this! Nebuchadnezzar was now old, had reigned above forty years, and seen as much of the world as most men ever did.  And yet never 'till now, did he admire surprising events, as the signs and wonders of the high God! How gladly worldly men turn in hours of crisis to religious men, who draw upon unseen resources, and bear themselves with calm and unruffled peace, "O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof" (Dan. 4:9). 
      The greatness of the King is set forth under the figure of a mighty tree, filling the earth and sheltering the nations. There was only one Being who came down, combining in Himself watchfulness and holiness, Jesus Christ.  In Dan. 4:17 we learn that no destiny is decided apart from the careful sifting of the celestial council chamber. "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men."  Thank God For His Heavenly Council! Invite Jesus Christ into your heart, confess that your a sinner, and change your life today!
Amen!
