God will Make a Believer Out of Us!

Believer: to have a firm conviction about something

If we chose not to humble ourselves and give God the glory that He so rightly deserves, then we will be very sorry. We have no strength or power within ourselves to do anything, so let's give God the glory He so rightly deserves. I want to share a story about a man who didn't give God the glory that he deserved. Instead, he gave the glory to himself.

As you can imagine, God made a believer out of Nebuchadnezzar! He got so full of himself that he said, I, By My Own Mighty Power, have built this beautiful city as my royal residence, and as the capital of my empire. While he was still speaking these words, a voice called down from heaven, "O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you: you are no longer ruler of this Kingdom. You will be forced out of the palace to live with the animals in the field, and to eat grass like the cows for seven years until you finally realize that God parcels out the kingdom of men and give them to any one He chooses." That very same hour this prophecy was fulfilled.

Nebuchadnezzar was chased from his palace and ate grass like the cows, and his body was wet with dew, his hair grew as long as eagles feathers, and his nails were like birds claws. "At the end of seven years I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity return, and I praised and worshiped the Most High God and honored Him who lives forever, whose rule is everlasting, His kingdom evermore. all the people of the earth are nothing when compared to him; He does whatever He thinks best among the hosts of heaven, as well as here among the inhabitants of earth."

"No one can stop Him or challenge Him. Now, I Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of Heaven, the judge of all, whose every act is right and good; for He is able to take those who walk proudly and push them into the dust" Daniel 4:31 - 37 (TLB).

My friends, let's stay humble so that God can use us. Our strength and our might all belong to the Lord.

With all that said, let the Church say Amen... and AMEN!
