the story of daniel is awesome. it's a great story of how God uses people who worship Him. He gets glory from them and He also uses people who reject Him, to get glory. As one pastor used to say 'you're either going to give glory to God or He will get glory from you'.
Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, the 2nd one. Daniel interpreted it that he would be rejected from his kingdom, live like an animal for 7 years and then once he acknowledged that God is in control, his kingdom would be restored to him. Daniel warned him to set his life in order, to repent of his sins that this prophecy might linger before coming to pass. And is says (Daniel 4:29-32) 'Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my majesty? While the word was still in his mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you, and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the bests of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.'
Wow, what an awesome example of God 'getting glory' from someone who did not give Him the glory.
