where are they now


Do you ever read a scripture and just can't seem to move past it?
That is what has happened to me {again}
with reading in the book of Daniel.
As I was preparing for my Sunday School lesson
I came across this passage:

Daniel 5:18-21 (New Living Translation)

18 Your Majesty, the Most High God gave sovereignty, majesty, glory, and honor to your predecessor, Nebuchadnezzar. 19 He made him so great that people of all races and nations and languages trembled before him in fear. He killed those he wanted to kill and spared those he wanted to spare. He honored those he wanted to honor and disgraced those he wanted to disgrace. 20 But when his heart and mind were puffed up with arrogance, he was brought down from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven from human society. He was given the mind of a wild animal, and he lived among the wild donkeys. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of the world and appoints anyone he desires to rule over them.
And to think that King Nebuchadnezzar is now played
by an animated zucchini.
I am so glad that God is in control!

I am in awe of who He is!
