"all whose works are truth,
and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to
abase." (Daniel 4: 37)
Today's verse is what Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, uttered after realizing it in his experience. We read in the Bible that God opposes the proud. Even though God resists the proud like this, He gives grace in return. That is, He opposes the proud because He bestows abundant grace.
We read this "But
he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble." (James 4: 6) That is, we should live with
the assumption that everything is possible only because of His grace, without
boasting, "This was made possible only because of me."
Babylonian king
Nebuchadnezzar was proud of his power as he strolled through his palace. And
so, he said, "The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have
built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour
of my majesty?" (Daniel 4: 30) As soon as he said this, God
humbled him and made him graze on grass like a cow.
As he grazed the grass, he
realized that he is nothing and everything is because of God. Then the
enlightened one says, "And all the inhabitants of
the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the
army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his
hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" (Daniel 4: 35)
Beloved, let us guard
ourselves against pride in any situation. All his works are truth, and his ways
are justice; It is He who humbles those who walk proudly and arrogantly.
Today we may be in a good
position, be in good health, live in wealth and have physical beauty. But don't
look down on others for that. We must always be humble that we have received
this by God's grace. In an instant we can be like Nebuchadnezzar.
He not only humbles the
proud but exalts the humble. God can greatly exalt and glorify someone we think
little of. "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar
from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the
throne of glory:"(1 Samuel 2: 8)
Therefore, dear ones, no
matter how great our position, wealth, physical strength or beauty, let us
inherit the character of humility. For God's ways are just; He is the one who
brings down in a moment those who walk proudly.
