Preparing for corporate worship October 30

God can cause even the world’s mightiest rulers – pagans though they are -- to humble themselves before Him and confess His sovereignty. We see this happen more than once in the book of Daniel. On one such occasion, God restores Nebuchadnezzar to his throne after humbling him to the extent that he acts as if he were an animal. Upon his return to rule over Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar closes his praise of God by saying, “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride” (Dan. 4:37). What a great declaration of praise to the only One worthy of worship! How much more should we express our adoration and thanksgiving this Sunday, however, when we will gather as those who have been delivered from enslavement to sin, Satan and death by the Sovereign God who humbled Himself and died for us.
