—Numbers 23:18-26
by: Cheri Appel.
Balaam was a prophet of God to King Balak of Moab. Balaam’s God-given words would bless or curse the people. Balak ordered him to curse the Israelites. But Balaam only obeyed God. He instructed Balak regarding the character of God. At the time, God saw no iniquity in His people and instructed Balaam to bless them, so Balaam did. Other times, God had punished the sinful Israelites. But when God forgives, He no longer sees iniquity. He throws that sin as far as the east is from the west! Today, let us confess, repent, and thank God for His complete forgiveness of sin!
