Please note, we will resume with Daniel 5 in about 2 weeks.
 
Daniel 4:36-37 “At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.”
 
THESE are the last words Daniel records of King Nebuchadnezzar. Many commentators believe he is confessing the LORD God as Lord of his life. As one has written, “What we can say certainly is that Nebuchadnezzar moved from acknowledging only himself as sovereign to acknowledging Yahweh’s sovereignty over him.” (from Thomas Constable's Notes on the Bible.)
    How did God move to transform  the king’s mind, heart and soul? He used visions and dreams. And he used Daniel. The sovereign God’s purposefully gifted Daniel to interpret visions and dreams. God spoke directly to Nebuchadnezzar, and he also used Daniel.  In Daniel’s commitment to only eat a God-centered diet, his prayers to understand the kings dreams and his truthful words to the king, Daniel revealed God.
    Daniel is a true disciple. He learned of God; he loved God; then he lived for God. There was no compromise in his mind, no shuffling in his walk. Daniel’s heart was willing to use the opportunities God gave him to minister the Lord’s ways with his gifts, even amid life-threatening circumstances.
    The king’s confession and Daniel’s faith would be examples to the Jews. They needed to know their God is above all; he has the power to humble the most prideful and powerful man on earth into submission and humility. He will bless those who faithfully obey and commit to his ways and his Word.
 
John 21:15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
