In fact, they were 10 times better than any other graduates at the university. And that was due to the infusion of wisdom by God Himself into Daniel and his three friends. When you are faithful to God as student, I believe that God will reward you with higher positions. He did that with Daniel. All went well during Daniel's first year after graduation until Nebuchadnezzar had a bad dream.
Bad dreams are hard to deal with.
Sometimes I dream that sankes are wound around my legs. They never get me, but I hate those dreams. I haven't had one of those in a long time. Nebuchanezzar had a bad dream and he remembered that the nightmare was terrible but was very, very important. It could be possible.
