Example and model of
Integrity
 Daniel 6:3 – 4
Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the
administrators and the satraps by his exceptional
qualities that the king planned to set him over the
whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the
satraps tried to find grounds for charges against
Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they
were unable to do so. They could not find no
corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and
neither corrupt nor negligent.
 Daniel 6:28

And Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and

the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
