People became familiar with Daniel's book from Daniel and the lion's den, as well as the famous seventy weeks prophecy. Yet Daniel's book contains more than Sunday School flannel-board stories and the key to all prophecy as Paul reminds us whatsoever things were written in earlier times were written for our learning.

Daniel's character was unwavering, as he decided early in his life to maintain devotion to God and his integrity, no matter the cost. That's the lesson to learn from Daniel's blueprint for life.

During trials of life, why not use the textbook Daniel provides during the exam and avail yourself of the lessons Daniel provides. After all, when your number's up, read the handwriting on the wall so you won't be thrown to the lions.
