"At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's service. In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom."
I think most of us are familiar with the story of Daniel and his friends. Its always nice to read about Daniel and how he was used by God. Many Old Testament stories are difficult to relate to, but its a little easier with Daniel. He is someone I want to emulate in my daily living. He was such a devout man. Although he was a lot younger than me during this part of his life than I am now, I still look up to him. First thing I noticed was that he knew what he wanted and how he was going to do it. God gave him the wisdom to be better than everybody else. The reason why they were so much better than the chosen Babylonians was because God was with them. How can these four guys be better than the best of Babylon? It would be reasonable if they were just slightly better, but to be 10 times better is amazing! I wonder how they got to have so much favor with God. I think it will be interesting to read about Daniel and his life. Let us learn and pray to be like Daniel in many ways
