Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble. The results of pride may not be so dramatic, but pride will keep you from knowing the joy of a simple trust in God. Praise Him for His gifts and hold them loosely. God cares for me and is able to protect what I possess.
Simplicity calls for a trust.
How easily we grow anxious about tomorrow. Questions flood our minds, steal our peace, rob us of sleep, and distract us from serving God. If we allow these questions to fill up our minds we lose simplicity and become full of anxiety. We begin to scheme and plot and plan, using others in attempts to shield ourselves from pain or loss. This kind of assurance is only possible where we are loving God intensely and living in obedience to His will daily.
