Listen from:
“In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai” (Daniel 8:1-21In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. 2And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. (Daniel 8:1‑2)).
Daniel was far from the great capital in these verses (he was back before it fell). He's at a palace so it would appear he's on a "business trip" for his boss, king Belshazzar. Yet he's in communion not out on the town seeing the sights of the palace. He wasn’t “too busy” with his job to find time for communion with the “King of kings and Lord of lords.” No matter how busy or demanding our responsibilities are, there will always be time for communion with the Lord.
