Your God is a God of gods

“The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.” - Daniel 2v47

Nebuchadnezzar is an interesting character. Here he reacted emotionally to seeing an interpretation to his prayer. He was so excited that he said that Daniel’s God was the true God, he elevated Daniel to a position of authority, and then promoted the Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Surely, Nebuchadnezzar got saved because of Daniel’s testimony?

Sadly, this was not the case. In the next chapter Nebuchadnezzar will set up a monument to himself and demand worship. Not a saved man. What happened then?

Like far too many people Nebuchadnezzar made a statement and a decision based on his emotions. We need to be careful that we do not base our view of salvation of people based on their emotional responses. Emotions can cause huge responses – lets be sure that we see the reality of “If any man be in Christ he is a new creature.”
