"Nebuchadnezzar was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird." Daniel 4:33 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This describes mighty King Nebuchadnezzar's bout with insanity. How the mighty can fall. Ever worried about your sanity? What if you were to lose your mind like this? God restored Nebuchadnezzar's sanity, demonstrating that He also has control over our minds, our mental health. How comforting to know that God remains in control, even when we lose control. How comforting to know that our mental malfunctions do not separate us from God's care. He can restore us, no matter what! Pride caused the King's fall. Faith gives us peace, even when facing the worst of possibilities! God can and will heal! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
O Lord, sometimes I feel like I'm about to lose my mind! You cast down the proud, and lift up the humble. Enable me to humbly trust in you, no matter what my mind may do! Thank you for your tender care, and your promise to work all things together for my good. In Jesus' name, Amen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
