Nebuchadnezzar's testimony in Daniel 4 reveals how God deals with human pride. As the most powerful ruler of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar received a troubling dream about a great tree being cut down, which Daniel interpreted as God's coming judgment on the king's pride. After boasting about his achievements, Nebuchadnezzar was humbled by God, living like an animal for seven periods until he acknowledged God's sovereignty. This powerful account teaches us three crucial truths: God is great and deserves our humility, God is glorious and worthy of our worship, and God is good, showing mercy even to those who have rebelled against Him.
