ONLY TWO ROLES ON EARTH TO CHOOSE TO PLAY: GIVER OR BEGGAR
I have often told my family who has a stronger inclination towards success and greatness: “There are two roles here on earth that each of us should play: that of the benefactor and that of the beneficiary. If you cannot play the first one effectively, then, God will give you the second role.”
Meaning: if you cannot be a compassionate [rich] benefactor of the poor, then, you shall be given the role of the beneficiary [that is, the poor]. And then you will feel how painful is it to be treated poorly and coldly.
We have only two choices: the benefactor or the beneficiary, the rich (that is, the able) or the poor (that is, those who are not able and who need help).
Nebuchadnezzar’s biography ended WELL, because he now humbled himself before the Almighty. And true to His promise, God LET HUMILITY, so to speak, RESTORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
Chapter 4 of Daniel is King Nebuchadnezzar’s letter to all mankind regarding his experience with God. It is his testimony of God’s greatness and goodness. He ended his letter with this beautiful note:
“At the end of that time [that is, seven years of insanity], I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified Him who lives forever.
“His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: ‘What have you done?’”[1]
