Daniel successfully served under at least four significant rulers. The result of his consistent godly service was that God was glorified. E.g. Daniel 6:25-28. Daniel was a great example and leader from a young age. He experienced amazing revelations from God, even about things that are still in our future. He was assured of the favour he had with God and his future reward.

Genuine faith must be accompanied by the evidence of godly action. Rahab was an example of a woman who would be written off and condemned by people but was highly commended in the Bible because of her obedient faith. Rahab was willing to risk everything by her obedience to God, and because of it, she received a great reward.
