The experience of Daniel as a statesman in the kingdoms of Babylon and Medo-Persia reveals the truth that a businessman is not necessarily a designing, policy man, but that he may be a man instructed by God at every step. Daniel, the prime minister of the greatest of earthly kingdoms, was at the same time a prophet of God, receiving the light of heavenly inspiration. A man of like passions as ourselves, the pen of inspiration describes him as without fault. His business transactions, when subjected to the closest scrutiny of his enemies, were found to be without one flaw. He was an example of what every businessman may become when his heart is converted and consecrated, and when his motives are right in the sight of God.

Den erfaring, Daniel havde som statsmand i Babylon og Medo Persien, viser, at en administrator ikke nødvendigvis behøver at være et beregnende, snedigt menneske, men at han kan lade sig belære af Gud ved hvert skridt, han tager. Daniel var førsteminister i det største rige på jorden, men han var samtidig Guds profet og modtog den himmelske inspirations lys. Han havde den samme natur som vi, men den inspirerede pen skriver, at der ikke fandtes brøde hos ham. Der kunne ikke udsættes noget som helst på hans dispositioner, da hans fjender foretog en meget nøje gennemgang af dem. Han var et eksempel på, hvorledes alle administratorer kan blive, når deres hjerte omvendes og helliges og Gud kan se, at de har de rette motiver.
