Numbers 22:1-41
Learn from the past.
In 2 Peter 2:15-16, Jude 11 and Revelation 2:14, we are encouraged to learn from the events of this chapter.
Each passage contains a warning.
(a) 2 Peter 2:15-16- Don’t leave ‘the straight way’ and follow the crooked way!
(b) Jude 11- Don’t let making a profit become more important than being a prophet!
(c) Revelation 2:14- Make sure you don’t get drawn away from God into sin!
What is God saying to us here?
- ‘these things happened... as a warning... they were written down for our instruction... let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall’.
With the warning, there is also the promise: ‘...God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide a way of escape...’(1 Corinthians 10:11-13).
Numbers 23:1-30
Our words are to be an echo of God’s Word.
We are to speak only what God says (8,12).
Before we can speak for God, He must speak to us.
‘God’s Word is truth’(John 17:17).
God does not lie.
He does not change His mind.
What He says, He does.
He fulfils His purpose (19).
How does God carry forward His purpose of blessing?
We receive His blessing.
We share His blessing with others.
We can only bring blessing to others when we ourselves seek blessing from the Lord.
His blessing comes to us.
His blessing reaches out through us.
We speak His Word, yet - through our words - He speaks (20).
This is the work of the Holy Spirit.
‘God’s Word is the sword of the Spirit’(Ephesians 6:17).
The Spirit uses the Word to convict us of our sin and lead us to our Saviour (Hebrews 4:12-16).
