Daniel 1:9 “Now God had brought Daniel into favor...with the prince...” 

Daniel finds himself a captive in a very strange land. His principles and spiritual practice will be called into question over and over during his life. But this verse reveals that God at times makes things happen to the good of His people. Had God not brought Daniel into favor with his overseer, 

the outcome would have been far different. 

I have seen this happen in my own life. In my early years, working in a factory, my boss was impressed to let me off work for three hours several nights in our Revival. This was unheard of at the time. Others in the department cried foul, but he quickly told them I lived my religion while others just played at it. 

At times in the book of Daniel, others faced the fire, but deliverance still came, and in the mightiest of ways. 

God is still in charge. He will help us in our hour of need.
