A hymn, In Times Like These, from my childhood rose into my mind after reading Daniel 4. If you will remember, king Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. It came to pass the moment he exalted himself. His kingdom was taken from him. He was driven out into the fields to eat grass like a beast. 

Here are his words. Daniel 4:34, “And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever.”

Verse 35 is eternal truth that rings loud and clear in our times. It says, “All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or says to Him, What have You done?”
