Though remembered as an extraordinary prophet, Daniel was foremost an ordinary person. He knew the stresses of a demanding career, a liberal culture, and envious co-workers. No doubt, Daniel had a lion's share of trials.

But it isn't the trials that make Daniel one to follow. It 's how he prepared for and dealt with those problems that count. It was his manner of living that changed a king's life.
