Daniel 4:26-28 - And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules. Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.” All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
Proverbs 28:13 – Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Numbers 23:19 - God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Application:
· Concealing my sin results in physical and psychological pain. Confessing and renouncing my sin results in joy
· All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar because he did not renounce his sins and wickedness, do what is right and be kind to the oppressed
· God’s faithfulness in general implies that His promises will also come to pass
