Numbers 22:21 - 23:26
And my debacle continues. I will say though, this is a fascinating story! How many of you didn't know there was a story in the Bible about a talking donkey??
Again, my quest for answers continues, and I want to open this up for discussion, rather than ramble on. Why, even if in God's permissive will, did God try to stop and even kill Balaam on his way to meet Balak? It seemed as though Balaam had no intention of doing anything other than say what God told him to, yet God tried to end his life for going. Tell me your thoughts!
On a side note, it's amazing to hear Balaam speak such powerful things over the Israelites. We'll see tomorrow that the praises of Israel continue!
Luke 6:37 - 7:10
It seems lately that I have heard verses 41-42 so many times lately! I have heard it at church and in our Bible reading. You all are hearing the same things, so I'm thinking that God's trying to tell one of you something--couldn't be me! Ha! I think it's so good to be reminded of this passage often because it can apply to so many things in our lives. We, as a society, are so quick to judge, but that's not what God is calling us to do.
Verse 45 is also powerful. Sometimes, when I have a harsh thought about someone/something, I'll think about this verse and repent. Obviously, I'm not full of the right things and want to correct that immediately. I want to be full of Christ, that way Christ pours out of me!
Psalm 37:32-40
When you are under attack, there is nothing you can/should do, other than rely on the Lord. This whole chapter has been talking about others succeeding around us while we're hurting or afflicted, but the end of the chapter here in verses 39-40 sums it up perfectly, "The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord...." Not us, Him. To Him be the glory, honor and power forever, Amen!

Verse 34, "hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it."
So often we want to see "it" now. However, here God promises us that we will see "it" when the wicked are destroyed. And that will ultimately happen when Jesus returns to reign.
Come Lord Jesus!
