Bro Joe spoke on Nebuchadnezzar’s Testimony. Daniel 4 is Nebuchadnezzar’s testimony of the Lord’s mercy and patience.  He begins by saying: ‘Peace be multiplied to you’.  Nebuchadnezzar came to know, in his day, just what true peace really is.  After living lavishly and selfishly, putting many people to death for any reason; boasting of his many accomplishments and thinking way too highly of himself, he comes to himself and humbly admits in verse 37: ‘Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the king of Heaven, all whose works are truth and His ways judgment and those who walk in pride He is able to abase’. 

We find the ‘Holy One’ takes everything away from this man; his reasoning all the way down to his kingdom.  Through a series of events and years of time, we discover the Lord must have seen a seed of honesty down in Nebuchadnezzar’s heart.  Because of this, the Lord did all He could to help this man get the help he disparately needed.  

If the Lord did this for Nebuchadnezzar, He will do it for you!  Perhaps some day, you will find yourself saying, as Nebuchadnezzar said: ‘Peace be multiplied to you’, too.  

A song says:           

Out in the dark
Alone you may go
Seeds for the wicked one sow
But, there is an eye watching
From the throne on high
You can’t do wrong and get by
