True humility

Humility is one of those attributes that we know are meant to characterise the people of God, but which we seem to struggle with. Either we put ourselves down whether by comment or comparison, or we ignore humility altogether.

Daniel is a great antidote to both. Daniels humility is seen in his service of both God and the king, and in his society just as in ours it makes him stand out as a man apart.

To be humble is not to think less OF myself but less ABOUT myself.

Positively it is to be focused on God's desires, doing what pleases him and accentuates his holiness, glory and grace.
