“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.” Daniel 4:37 (NASB)
Today we consider words of praise to Almighty God which were offered up and spoken not by a prophet or psalmist but by the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. He had conquered the Nation of Judah and Jerusalem, destroying the Temple and the city wall. He had taken captive most of the people and brought them to Babylon. His story is in the Book of Daniel where in the fourth chapter, we read how God judged the proud king and humbled him by forcing him to live wild and alone for seven years. These words of praise came from Nebuchadnezzar at the end of his punishment. We believe the same about God that the king came to believe. God's words are true and His ways are just. God deserves praise and we are happy to exalt and honor the King of heaven. Our promise is a warning too. God is able to humble the proud. Let's praise God and honor Him today as we recognize him as King of heaven.
