Numbers 22:11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt that covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
In our day, there are persons who might have not a single qualification for a particular office and yet, he or she can get promoted to a position of trust, after bowing down in some form or another. Thus, great spiritual darkness has overspread the earth, and like Balaam, persons who have not a clue as to what they are doing, are given the reins of control. If persons are bidden to lie, some will lie, if some are bidden to steal, some will steal, and like Balaam, if some are bidden to curse, they would also curse.
It matters not what is the cost, once promotion will be secured, some folks will bow down, and sell their birthright in the process. Numbers 22:6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Numbers 22:8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 12 And God said unto Balaam, you shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. 15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. 16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, let nothing, I pray thee hinder thee from coming unto me.
Numbers 22:17 For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
