Get Off the Ramp!
For student drivers, it is a wise thing to avoid the highway until enough confidence with driving skills is developed. Even the challenge of merging into the freeway through the ramp is scary. Like all covetous drivers, the highway of falsehood and unrighteousness is full of users who cannot manoeuvre their skills without comparison. Despite the desire and earnest prayer of Balaam to live in righteousness, he died in unrighteousness because of his inability to resist the temptation of merging into the highway. Satisfaction with only what was given to him by the Lord would have saved is life and ministry from compromise. All that every man needs to fulfill his calling is given by the Lord. Except the Lord leads, gifts from fellow men have string attached. Ungodly gifts bring corruption; and guide the receiver into the highway of unrighteousness. Unfortunately, freeways are designed to discourage intermittent waiting.
