Characteristics of God
Friday February 16, 2024
Characteristics of God. Our reading today has a remarkable account of Balak and Balaam. Balak was the king of Moab and they were afraid that the Israelites, who had camped in the plains of Moab, would overtake them (Numbers 22:1-4). Balaam was wicked prophet, but God would still use him to accomplish His work. King Balak asked the prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites, but Balaam continued to respond that he could only speak the words that God gave him. God had used Balaam’s donkey and an angel to cause Balaam to fear the Lord and only speak the words God had given him. In one of the times Balaam declares to King Balak what God had said, we read, “God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19). We should not view the prophet Balaam as a good and faithful prophet, thereby, considering all of his actions as right. Overall, he is a wicked prophet and that will eventually be seen. But even this wicked prophet declared the truth about the characteristics of God. God is powerful and God is good!
