Thriving in Babylon… Humility: How credibility is earned and hearts are won.
What is humility and how can it help to share the love of Jesus with an unbelieving world? The world will often see humility as a form of weakness. God’s Word has something quite different to share. Daniel’s humble nature earned him the respect and the ear of the most powerful leaders. Daniel’s life of humility reveals to us how we can build credibility and trust even within a world that is trying to destroy us. Daniel faithfully served the evil kings who were over him so well that he was continually promoted to more powerful and influential positions. Daniel even led two kings to proclaim that His God was the only true God.
In a world that seemingly only wants to fight and shout down the opposition, we should take a different approach. To humbly serve everyone who is made in the image of God. For anyone wondering, that would include everyone. Our hope is to win everyone to Jesus. We are not called to defeat anyone except the enemy and our enemy is not flesh and blood. (Ephesians 6:12) Daniel’s model of humility will work in the world today because Daniel’s example is the example of Jesus.
