day no. 16,132: getting along to go along is a good way to get where they’re going.

Daniel 3:16-18

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."

When you get along to go along, you never get to set the GPS. You are always at the mercy of someone else's drive. You may call, "shotgun!" but you never get to call the shots. You can choose to recline, but you cannot choose the destination, or the speed at which you get there for that matter.

All that to say, you become what you tolerate.
