Summary: Largely from the king's point of view, he has another dream and, again, only Daniel is able to solve it. A tree so big you can see it from anywhere is him, the king, but it gets extremely cut back as a warning that, should the king get full of himself, he'll lose his mind for a few years. Even with the warning, it happens anyway, but for right this second, he seems to have learned his lesson.
Response: "[....God] does as he wishes with the army of heaven and with those who inhabit the earth. No one slaps his hand and says to him, ‘What have you done?’"
Daniel 4:35 NET
I have had pause this week to wonder if I'm in the right place, doing the right thing. But God has seen fit to give me encouragement after encouragement that, even though it's hard, it's not insurmountable.
