The Upward Look of Humility
Commentators agree that Nebuchadnezzar's restoration began the moment he 'lifted up his eyes to heaven.' This was not an act of pride but the first sign of returning reason and true humility. As John Calvin notes, he looked up to God while being mentally cast down, finally acknowledging God as the sovereign judge. This upward look of dependence is the turning point from pride to repentance.
