I'm reading Daniel at the moment, for the first time actually. It amazes me what I have learned biblically if not spiritually in some way. It just goes to show you that you should actually read ALL the bible and not just the parts which seem interesting right now. You never know what'll be interesting later. Anyway, I'm in Ch.4, where Nebuchadnezzar has been taken down a few notches by God because of his pride. In the chapter, he is taking a walk through a part of his kingdom and attribute the beauty and the glory of his kingdom to himself and not to God and so God takes him away from the splendor which he is accustomed to and brings him so low he is eating grass. It brings a new perspective on our lives and the times when we just don't feel like we should. What if God is bringing you to this new place because you need to be there, need to feel what it's like to be the loneliest, dirtiest person on the earth to be taught a lesson. You may be wondering if Nebuchadnezzar learns his lesson and I'm glad to say that he does; he repents and praises God and so He puts him back into his place of delicious wonderfulness.
