NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S CONVERSION
SEPTEMBER 18
Daniel 4:34-37
NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S CONVERSION
This was a very different prayer from the previous utterances of God from Nebuchadnezzar’s lips. Earlier he spoke of God as Daniel’s God, or the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He recognised there was something unique about Daniel and his friends and called it the spirit of the holy gods in them. Nebuchadnezzar saw the miracle of God delivering Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego from the burning fiery furnace. He heard Daniel’s interpretations of dreams and visions. But Nebuchadnezzar never knew the Almighty God for himself and continued to worship his own gods.
Like Nebuchadnezzar, many of us have seen how God has worked in the lives of others. We have also heard His words of truth and promise. But do you know the Almighty God personally through His only begotten Son, or choose to continue in your own worldly ways?
At the end of 7 years living as a madman in the wild, Nebuchadnezzar’s reason and sanity were returned to him. The first thing he did was to lift up his eyes toward heaven. He understood all that had happened and for the first time, knew the Almighty God in a personal way. There were 2 main elements in Nebuchadnezzar’s first prayer as a believer. He praised God as the sovereign ruler of all kingdoms, and acknowledged that man is nothing before an Almighty God.
As promised, God restored the kingdom to Nebuchadnezzar and established his reign again in Babylon. The king learnt his lesson well and acknowledged that those who walk in pride, God can bring to a lowly state. God used this experience to convert Nebuchadnezzar to a God-fearing Christian.

Thought: Salvation is of the Lord and not of man.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise You for you are the King of heaven and your ways are perfect in everyone’s lives. Teach me the ways of humility that I may walk in them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
