God values education. God values continuous learning. In fact, the Bible says that we honor God by developing and educating our mind. we are fulfilling the great commandment as well.   That is what Daniel did.  Despite the erroneous teaching he was subjected to as a teenager, he was able to excel in a world that criticized his faith. We need education but we also need to guard our education.  We guard by starting first with God then we can tell the truth from the lies.  When we do so, we are destined to succeed.
