Nebuchadnezzar

Nebuchadnezzar

Nebuchadnezzar dreamt

sleep fled from him

Astrologers, counsellors and magicians couldn't help

Daniel and friends prayed

God answered

Daniel spoke to Nebuchadnezzar

Kingdoms come and go but

The future is in God's hands

Nebuchadnezzar built

A golden statue arose on the plains

Orders were given- All were to bow

To the golden god that can't do much

Shadrach, Mesach & Abednego 

convicted of their faith 

Hold onto the true God

and did not bow

Nebuchadnezzar mocked and said

What god is there who will save you

Into the burning fiery furnace they were thrown

God answered Nebuchadnezzar

and saved His faithful three

and stood between them in the fire

Not even their hair was singed

Nebuchadnezzar did not learn (yet)

Thought he was god too

another dream 

another sleepless night

God gives Daniel wisdom

Dream's interpretation given

along with a chance to repent

A year later 

Nebuchadnezzar found himself mindless

eating grass alongside beasts of the field

Not wanting to humble himself,

but was humbled by God

When God gives his mind back to him

Glory to the Most High God is given
