The Exile, part 3: Daniel and Influence

The Babylonian exile of God's people can serve as a picture of our place in this world that is not our ultimate home.  We have hope in a "better country" to which God is calling us.  Often in this world, we are outsiders.  But God does create opportunities for us to have influence in this world. 

When we think of God's people who had influence during this time, the most prominent example is Daniel.  What did Daniel do with the influence given to him?  What can we learn from him in regard to our own influence in this world?
