Daniel and retirement

Daniel was around 85 years old, and had faded into the background. Belshazzar did not know who he was, and the queen had to point him out. Because of Belshazzar's partying and disrespect, Daniel was again thrust into the limelight.

Perhaps he would have preferred staying back, drinking coffee and writing his memoirs, but this was not to be. Darius was confronted with Danie's wisdom, so he put him right to work. And, Daniel did his work in his usual manner - neither corrupt nor negligent.

This of course did not set well with the other leaders and so they attacked Daniel's faith.

Why would God not allow Daniel to retire, but again get him into deep trouble? When have we done enough for God? sacrificed enough, or forgiven enough?

God Bless,
