Babylon became great because of the sovereign blessing of God. In their greatness they forgot about God and began to take him for granted. God judged them and they were no longer a great nation.

When we embrace this truth, we have the true freedom—and peace that comes with it—to stop trying to be God and let Him direct our lives.
