The king has another dream. Daniel interprets. The dream is fulfilled. God takes away the authority of the king: he loses his kingdom, his people, is forced into the wilderness to live like a wild animal, and after seven "times" he eventually "acknowledges that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes."verse32
It takes a lot, eating grass, his hair growing like feathers and nails growing like the claws of a bird and a very long time before the king recognizes the greatness of the Lord, before he know that my God can do what as he pleases, before he fears the Lord....
The king had gotten too powerful or thought he was at least...
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight." Proverbs 9:10I pray that for a greater fear of my all-knowing, all-powerful God.
***Also, for church this week I will be reading through Philippians everyday.
This Sunday we learned Philippians is about CHRIST as my life, example, goal, and strength.
