the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon.
Look at this great city of Babylon! By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city as my royal residence to display my majestic splendor.’
a voice called down from heaven, ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you! You are no longer ruler of this kingdom. 32You will be driven from human society. You will live in the fields with the wild animals, and you will eat grass like a cow.
34“After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.
His rule is everlasting,
and his kingdom is eternal.
35All the people of the earth
are nothing compared to him.
He does as he pleases
among the angels of heaven
and among the people of the earth.
No one can stop him or say to him,
‘What do you mean by doing these things?’
“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”
Lord God my Father,
I plea with you to save me, save me from who I desired to be since my youth. I have struggled to do this life my way all these years, now I only want to do what you created me to do. Bring clarity to my thoughts and movement to my hands so I can release your desire in my actions. I am arrogant in who I am and what I have done when you are the reason any good has come from me. Lord God, your will be done.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
