Nb 24 :10-25
In this text, we see the
prophet Balaam who had kept his heart pure to the very end. What was
the temptation in front of which he has kept his heart pure ?
What did he prophesy when he kept his heart ?
- The prophet Balaam who had kept his heart pure (10-13)
King Balaq's anger
burned seeing that the prophet Balaam kept his heart pure to the very
end, even thrice (10). He said he would give materials and honours to
Balaam but God stopped him from receiving (11). But what was
Balaam's answer ? He said clearly that even if king Balaq gave
him all things, he couldn't contradict the Eternal God's order (12,
13). Among the people of God, there are more people who have fallen
, not because of difficulties but because of vain glory.
- Balaam's prophecy to Israel (14-25)
When Balaam kept his
identity to the very end, the morning star rose in his heart (2P
1:19). He could prophesy that Israel's people will rule over all the
country, detroying all the ennemies. He prophesies also about
David's kingdom (17). When a prophet keeps his heart, his identity,
he has the assurance that he will become a prince or a princess of
the Kingdom of God, and that he will reign eternally. Do you have
this assurance ?
Prayer : Lord, help
me to keep my heart pure and to obey your word. Help me to believe
that a Christian who keeps his heart will became an authentic
christian who reigns with you.
Bottom line : a
christian who kept his heart pure
