Good -Life Devotional: THE MOST HIGH RULES IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN

Daniel 4:17 (AMP)

“…that the living may know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and He bestows it on whomever He desires and sets over it the humblest and lowliest of men.”

     Daniel 4:17 is a powerful reminder that no matter how chaotic global affairs may appear, God remains the true Ruler over the kingdoms of men. Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful king of his time, learned this truth through painful humbling. His rise was not by his own strength, and his fall was not by accident. It was all orchestrated so that “the living may know” that authority ultimately comes from God.

    In a world where people trust in elections, military power, wealth, and human influence, Scripture calls us back to a deeper reality: Heaven rules (Daniel 4:26). Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord.” Romans 13:1 declares that “there is no authority except from God.” Even when evil rulers arise, it does not negate God’s sovereignty. Sometimes He allows them as instruments of discipline, as seen with the Chaldeans in Habakkuk 1:6, or as part of His redemptive plan, like Cyrus in Isaiah 45.

   Yet Daniel 4:17 also reveals something personal: God can raise the “lowliest of men.” Promotion does not come from human networks but from the Lord (Psalm 75:6–7). Therefore, pride is foolish, and humility is wisdom.

    As believers, this truth should give us deep peace. Nations may shake, leaders may fail, policies may disappoint, but the throne of Heaven is never vacant. God is guiding history toward His purpose.

    Let this verse anchor your soul today: Your security is not in earthly rulers but in the Most High who governs all things. Trust Him, stay humble, and walk in obedience, knowing that His sovereignty is your stability.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and for his will alone to be done on earth.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to promote  wise and godly leadership
