As a youth, Daniel was captured by the army of Babylon, exiled to a foreign land, and forced to serve in King Nebuchadnezzar's court. Daniel's wisdom, integrity, and trust in God earned him a position of power as he served the king. But even when Daniel's wealth and prestige were threatened, he remained steadfastly faithful to God. The Lord rewarded Daniel for his faith, protecting him from those who would do him harm. Daniel provides an excellent example of a person who consistently lived his life in a way that honors God.
