#soap # Daniel 04 ## Title: God Humbles the Proud ## Scripture: (Daniel 4:37) “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right and his ways are just. He is able to bring down those who live in pride.” (NET) ## Observation: In this passage, the greatest king in the world at the time has been humbled. It was rather surprising that he was able to regain his power after effectively losing his mind. Only the Lord could engineer such a great comeback. When it is all over, the king celebrates the Lord who is able to humble the proud. When is the last time you thanked God for humbling you? This is not an easy celebration. Only when we see the value of humility do we thank God for it. Humility helps us see the world more clearly. Humility helps us remember who is really in charge. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves. It is thinking of ourselves less often. ## Application: Take a moment and thank the Lord for making the world about Him and not us. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us and being greater than all things.
