Faith Fuels Boldness
Commentators note the stark contrast between Daniel's courage and the despair of the other wise men. While they gave up, Daniel, driven by faith, boldly approached the furious king. Scholars describe this as "courageous humility"—not arrogance, but a confident trust in God's power to intervene in an impossible situation. His faith prompted him to act when others were paralyzed by fear.
