Daniel or Joseph?

This chapter reminds me of what happened to Joseph...interpreting dreams for a powerful man and then finding himself in power.

"The king ordered the whole company of Babylonian wise men killed. When the death warrant was issued, Daniel and his companions were included. They also were marked for execution."

This is the part that floors me: "When the chief of the royal guards was making arrangements for the execution, Daniel wisely took him aside and quietly asked what was going on: "Why this all of a sudden?"

I would absolutely be freaking out, but Daniel is a non-anxious presence during probably the most stressful time in his entire life.

I can learn a lot from Daniel. God still gives us dreams and visions...just as much is at stake.
