While Biblical humility is not just a forgotten but avoided characteristic trait by today’s society, Daniel found that is was the key to influencing his captors. Daniel learned that courage without humility leads to martyrdom while humility without courage leads to spinelessness! Biblical humility means to accurately assess and acknowledge one’s strengths and weaknesses. Daniel could have seen his captors through the lens of condemnation but instead chose to see them through the lens of God’s mercy and grace! Daniel’s humility did not negate his ambition to do his very best to unconditionally love his captors so that he might point them to God the Father in heaven who is the source of all life. Like Jesus the message to our own godless culture must be one that invites the poor, blind, broken-hearted captives of sin into the glorious light of forgiveness and redemption!
