Daniel shows humility in this situation by not taking credit for being able to interpret the King's dream, nor does he put down the other wisemen who could not do this either. He witnesses to the King about Daniel's God and gives Him all the credit for the King's dream and for using Daniel to show the King what he wants to know. In 1 Peter 5:5-6, God makes it clear that we should always be humble and respectful to others even when we do not agree with them. God hates the proud and gives grace to the humble. Too many people today open their mouths and speak before thinking and get themselves in a load of trouble. The hardest thing to learn in being humble is knowing when and when not to speak and then what to say. Humility is an attitude of respect for others, always knowing that we serve God in all our actions.
