Daniel 4:28-33
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. 30 The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”
31 While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”
33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
Looks like King Nebuchadnezzar turned into an animal. When God speaks, we should listen! I wonder how hard it is for most of us to hear God’s voice. Can you imagine, hearing that message directly from heaven? At times, I wish I could hear God so clearly. Sometimes, when we go through our lives, we’re unsure about so many things. We pray about them, think about them, wondering what God wants us to do and we still are unsure. Do you think you ever hear God’s voice as clearly as King Nebuchadnezzar?
I’ll start off by leaving my own comment! I’ve never heard God’s voice as clearly as King Nebuchadnezzar! I think, if I do hear God’s voice, it’s more of a feeling instead of a real voice.
I have a problem with doing all of the talking and not enough listening when I seek God’s direction!
Thank you for the Stephen Bly book I just won. That is so kind!!
No, I’ve never heard a real voice either. I think God speaks to us through His Word, through other people and the circumstances in our lives.
