The Impulse to Testify
Commentators explain that Nebuchadnezzar's proclamation stems from a sense that it is 'fitting' and 'good' to declare what God has done. After a profound, humbling experience, his immediate impulse is to publicly share the 'signs and wonders' of the Most High God. This serves as a model for believers who, having experienced God's grace, should feel compelled to testify to His power and mercy.
