Keep It Simple Not Simp
According to manofmany.com, “Put simply, a simp is: Someone who tries way too hard to impress the person they like, often going above and beyond to satisfy their every need.” In one of life’s many glorious ironies, simping typically produces the opposite of its intended effect. You know what they say, Simpin ain’t easy.
The prophet (or wizard, according to at least one preacher) Daniel was, metaphorically speaking, no simp. He found himself in the courts of the single most powerful king on the planet and did not change who he was to impress him. Instead, he kept things simple: he stuck to his simple faith and to God’s simple laws and let the chips fall where they may. And what was the result? A simp’s dream: respect and honor.
