Prophet Profit
“So Balaam arose in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the leaders of Moab.” (Numbers 22:21)
The story of Balaam is the story of a prophet who focused on the profit. Balaam had a reputation as a man of God who spoke truth and walked with integrity, but when Balak came offering money to curse the people of God, we find out that Balaam’s integrity had a price.
The problems all started when Balaam saddled his donkey to go where he shouldn’t have and joined himself to people he should have avoided. If you want to keep your integrity intact, learn the lesson of Balaam: just don’t go there.
Avoid the places and people which tempt you. Don’t even go to Moab. Temptation is much easier to deal with from a distance.
