Daniel is one of the few people in the biblical record who live a life of devotion that is not marred by a divergence from the path. From the first time we see him as a young adult, he not only makes good decisions, but he proactively seeks the face of God and actively shuns evil. As a result of a lifetime of devotion to God and his will, Daniel was held in high esteem in the heavens... to the extent that the secrets of heaven were revealed to him and the princes of heaven shared with him. Righteousness is its own reward. Perhaps more than any other, he epitomized what C. S. Lewis said... "It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to." Indeed, Daniel wanted to, and did.
