Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Numbers chapter 22 verses 9 through 12:
9God came to Balaam and said, ‘Who are these men with you?’ 10Balaam said to God, ‘King Balak son of Zippor of Moab has sent me this message: 11“A people has come out of Egypt and has spread over the face of the earth; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them and drive them out.” ’ 12God said to Balaam, ‘You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.’
I’m up early this morning looking at a new week; and the Scriptures say God is actively at work to thwart the plans of evil in this world.
The Israelites were making their way out of Egypt and towards freedom in the Promised Land, but the forces of Midian and Moab would have stopped them. God, however, intervened; and an accomplice to the anti-freedom movement.
Beloved, God is at work this week, weighing on the conscience in surprising places and people, convicting would-be accomplices, thwarting the plans of evil, and intervening on the side of Freedom and Liberty.
Live with that good news this week. God is on the side of the people making their way to the Promised Land.
