King Nebuchadnezzar

At the end of the seven years, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?" Daniel 4:34-35 King Nebuchadnezzar had been driven out of his palace and sent to live, eat and sleep with the wild animals in the open. He was advised to stop sinning and do what was right. After being sent away, his hair and nails grew very long like the eagles'. After this period of seven years, he was restored and made King again. He praised God and acknowledged that He was the Supreme God over all the earth.

Today's Bible verse

Hebrews 12:3,16 ..do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to the amount of faith that God has given you. Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise.

Scripture of the Day

Faith Hebrews 11:1-3 To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. It was by their faith that people of ancient times won God's approval. It is by faith that we understand that the universe was created by God's word, so that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.

How to Forgive

Forgiving others is not the easiest of things to do. I personally take some time before I can completely forget what the person did to me. What eventually makes me forgive is knowing that failing to forgive others may make God not forgive me for my many shortcomings, as Jesus taught using the parable of the Unforgiving servant who was forgiven by his master for the many debts he owed him, but when he left, met his fellow servant and had him locked up until he had paid all the debt. When the master found out what the unforgiving servant had done, he was upset and went ahead to have him locked up for failing to forgive his fellow employee. "That is how my father in heaven will treat every one of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart." We are all sinners and no one is more special than the other. Anyway, here are some ideas on how to forgive though I don't remember where I read them. I had saved them in my computer and just remembered them today. I hope they
