“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm” (Daniel 6:3).
Pat Rily said that, “Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.” The success story of Daniel should spur you on to excellent success.
It is a clear example of how God can raise an inconsequential person to an extra-ordinary height.

A broader study of Daniel shows he was neither corrupt, nor negligent in his duties.
