Nebuchadnezzar was cursed by God for his pride and made to spend seven years living as a wild animal in a state of madness until he repented.
Seven years as a crazed man, humans only being a real preditor when holding a weapon and having the thought to create a trap, so in this environment- he was prey. Living in the wild with lions and crocodiles and wild dogs. How did he survive?
God had prophesied through Daniel that Neb would repent. To do that he had to be alive. So God sustained and protected him.
Even in punishment Neb was protected by God. God fulfilled His prophecy.
Even when we screw up completely and God is punishing us, He is still with us, protecting and loving us.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
