God
is gracious and kind and has clearly chosen to reveal himself in Christ Jesus. Each
person then chooses to open their heart and soul to Christ Jesus to be rescued from
the consequences of their sins. God’s word reveals that Jesus is the radiance
of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, who sustains all
things by his word.
Balaam believed that God had spoken to
him personally. Nevertheless, for ulterior hidden motives, he refused give up
old beliefs and idol worship. He would speak for God when confronted to do so
but refused to obey God if a chance existed to profit monetarily.
Listen to
Balaam’s understanding of God. "God is not a man that he should lie, or change
his mind. Does he speak and not act? Does
God promise and not fulfill?" Balaam's heart was corrupted and could not
apply God’s revelation to himself. God reveals himself to us so we can choose
to love him with all our heart, soul, and mind. God bless you in this New Year.
