- Numbers 23 There are a couple of things worth noting. First, Balaam cannot undue God's blessing toward Israel. Second, Balaam recognizes his limitations. And finally, Balaam in his four oracles submits to the Lord. We know that Israel did not obey the Lord and there were times whereby God judged Israel. Yet, the Lord was faithful in keeping His promise to bless the Lord. Heavenly Father, I thank You because You are faithful in keeping Your word and promises to Your people. Thank You because through Jesus, I (we) receive ALL the blessings. 8“How am I to curse those whom God has not cursed? How am I to denounce those whom Adonai has not denounced?
- I love this story because if you read the encampment placement in Numbers Balaam would have been trying to curse a campsite that was shaped like a cross!! And you can't curse the cross! Only blessing can come out!
