What is an example of God putting “put down the mighty from their thrones” (Luke 1:52)?
All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. The king spoke, saying, “Is not this the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?” While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! And they shall drive you away from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen, and seven years shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whom He chooses.” Immediately, the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; he was driven away from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ and his nails like birds’ (Daniel 4:28-33).

What is an example of God filling “the hungry with good things” (Luke 1:53)?
