Daniel 4
Daniel's interpretation of the dream ends with instructions of how Nebuchadnezzar might avoid the dream being fulfilled. Daniel says, "break away now from your sins by doing righteousness". In essence, he tells him if he starts living in right relationship with God, he might avoid this disaster. But Nebuchadnezzar does not listen.
When I look at Nebuchadnezzar, I see myself. There are times that I know the right action but somehow I end up doing just the opposite. Why do I act that way?
