Flattery can mesmerize us. It tells us what we want to hear, and it’s certainly easier to listen to than criticism. Flattery shows favor and approval, something we all long for. In today’s scripture, a prophecy from the book of Daniel, we see the foretelling of a king who will rise and fall and, through flattery and favor, cause many to fall with him. Thankfully, scripture tells us that some–those who know their God–would firmly resist this corrupt leader.
