Do you know what our responsibility is toward today's leaders? Daniel 7-12

Daniel 11:1

​ “In the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him.

In the midst of all this conflict we have a remarkable statement by Daniel as he receives any more prophetic messages.   God is giving Daniel insights about the events of the world and how God's plan will unfold.   It was so intense that Daniel began to wear the evidence of this on his face.   Yet, in the midst of so, so important utterances, we find this verse.   Daniel was sent to receive the message of God, but was also there to minister to the king, God has placed in such a role.  It should be noted that this king was a Gentile and Daniel, a Jew.    It should be remembered that Daniel was in captivity at this time.   It should be observed that we have NO references or information that would lead us to believe that Darius was a believer.  So, what we know is that, Daniel, at the time of the highest point of revelation from God (he was in the highest point of his worship) that he STILL was to minister to an ungodly man and encourage the man, as the leader God had put in place to accomplish that portion of God's plan.   This is so important for us to remember and to learn.   Believers have a responsibility to encourage and to sustain the leadership God puts in place in the world around us, no matter their spiritual condition and no matter what point of our worship.   Daniel could have focused on his theology.  Instead he focused on his servanthood.   Daniel was concerned about the state of Darius' leadership.  Instead of forming a campaign against the leadership, Daniel made sure the leadership was encouraged.  It begs the question if Daniel shared the material of his revelations from God with Darius.   It would not matter at the point here is that Daniel, despite his special relationship with God, had a responsibility to serve the people around him and above him.
