Lost Opportunities – Toni Babcock
In sharing the love of God, we sometimes lose opportunities to make an impact for Christ because we’ve lost perspective, appearing more like adversaries than ambassadors and more interested in winning an argument than winning a soul for Christ.
Author Larry Osborne spells out the potential problem masterfully in his book “Thriving in Babylon,” where he compares Daniel’s response to the average Christian’s — in a culture increasingly resistant to Christianity.
As many recall, Daniel‘s life was turned upside down when he became the captive of a pagan king. Jerusalem had been sacked by the Babylonians and the best and brightest Hebrews were taken captive to serve the powerful and egomaniacal King Nebuchadnezzar. Along with three friends (re-named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) Daniel was assigned the new name “Belteshazzar” and forced into the study of astrology and the magical arts. It was a new reality where Daniel had to make the best of a terrible situation or react with hostility, resentment, and rebellion.
Daniel chose to remain impeccable in his conduct, respectful to authorities, and remarkable in his gifts of spiritual discernment. He demonstrated the best way to gain respect from his enemies was by giving them respect, even if he stood miles apart ideologically. Any non-compliance due to his faith was only matched by his supreme wisdom and humility.
It paid off. Not only did Nebuchadnezzar elevate Daniel to rule over the whole province of Babylon, he made him the chief governor over all the wise men. And because he had won the king’s confidence, Nebuchadnezzar was willing to listen to Daniel’s spiritual advice, “…Separate yourself from your sins by doing what is right, and from your injustices by showing mercy to the needy…” (Daniel 4:27 CSB).
May we follow in his footsteps.
