Our verse: Daniel 4:33 The king, “ate grass like a cow, lived this way until his hair was as long as eagle's feathers and his nails were like bird's claws.”

We've heard a lot about this king, we call him Nebb. (Nebuchadnezzar) Daniel and his friends served in his government. God was using Daniel to display His power in Babylon, since it remains the most powerful empire in history. God humbled the biggest, most powerful human- it's king, to show all humans that no one is immune to being brought low. He gave the king many warnings, even miraculously saving three Hebrew boys from fiery death before his eyes. Sadly, his pride won.

One year after God's warnings, Nebb stood on the roof of his palace and bragged. “By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city.” Instantly, his mind snapped. He became like an animal, eating grass and living in the forest. This went on for months or years. More here: http://bit.ly/kingcow

God wasn't done, He was making a point for all of us. A day came, he looked up to the sky and his mind returned. It was a different mind. Here is what he said, “I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, glorify and honor the King of heaven. All His acts are just and true, and He is able to humble the proud.”

This is the same process for us. God wants to give us a different mind- the mind of Christ. There's an easy way and a hard way. You can guess which is better! Let's humble ourselves before God.. We become the person He wants us to be. Daniel is full of good lessons for us!
