Daniel 4:30-31

"The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee."
Daniel 4:30-31


This is a guy who had a dose of humility from the Lord. :)  He lost his mind for a while and wandered like King Lear out in the wilderness.  We forget sometimes that everything that we have and every breath that we take is from the Lord.  We are dependent on him, whether we like to remember that or not. If we attempt to remember that, then the resulting humble gratitude can save us from a lot of pride-based sin in our lives. :)  ... and there is a lot of that. :)
