God gave them the ability to know and understand all kinds of literature and learning. Now remember that this was in Babylon, so some of this would be decidedly ungodly, probably including astrology. Yet God enabled them to understand it. God can give us understanding in the world. He also gave Daniel the ability to understand dreams and visions. Note that not all of them received this gift, just Daniel. Our gifts and abilities come from the Lord.
After the training time was over they were all presented to Nebuchadnezzar and he was mightily impressed with them, they were the best. God can exalt us in the world if it fits His purpose.
So the four of them entered the king's service and outshone all the overs. God demonstrates His glory to the world through us.
