Dictators

Verse for the week:
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. (Dan 4:37)

Special People Group of the week:
I thought this week we could take a moment to pray for the world's worst dictators (as listed in Parade Magazine). Some may think this is a waste of time. I absolutely disagree. Doesn't our almighty God have the power to drive these men to their knees? Several thousand years ago, God drove Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful man in the world, to his knees and had him eating grass like an animal! Like an animal! Does our God not have the power to make modern dictators cry out as Nebuchadnezzar did? Has our God changed? Has His power suddently gotten weaker? I contend that God has not changed - not one bit! May we pray in FAITH!! God IS able! May we pray that one day, each of these dictators will cry out, "I praise and extol and honour the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."
