What Does Daniel 6:4 Mean?
Threatened by Daniel's coming promotion, the other presidents and princes hunt for some failure in his administration to use against him. Their search is thorough and hostile, yet it comes up empty. He is faithful, and no error or corruption can be found in his public service.
Few tests reveal a person like the scrutiny of enemies determined to destroy them. Daniel survives it because his life has no hidden seam to tear open. Integrity is its own quiet defense; the one who has nothing to conceal cannot be undone by exposure. His blamelessness foreshadows the One against whom accusers would also search in vain, finding no fault at all.
