I found some of the traits of the individual's in Daniel interesting to learn about God's control over all things. Also what we might learn to apply to our own personal life.

Character Traits of People in the Book of Daniel

Daniel
followed his Lord and GOD
-was slave to Nebuchadnezzar
-did not defile himself with the kings riches
-GOD granted Daniel favor & compassion in sight of others
-GOD gave Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom.
Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams
-the king found Daniel ten times better than all in his realm.

Nebuchadnezzar The King
-king of Babylon (present day Iraq)
-worshipped idols
-put GOD'S vessels in the treasury of false idols
-overtook the king of Judah
note:Jehoiakin was the king of Judah and did evil in the sight of GOD. GOD handed him over to Nebuchadnezzar
-used the son's of GOD as slaves
- sleep left him
-had troubling dreams
-had a troubled spirit
-made a gold idol to himself
-made a decree that all were to worship him and the gold idol

How did the life of Daniel affect Nebuchadnezzar?

What can we learn from these people that we can apply to our own life?

What can we lean about GOD?
