Numbers 22-24 Introduction: These chapters introduce us to this interesting and intriguing character, Balaam. Tell background story Although in the end Balaam proves to be an utter failure in his personal life, he nevertheless did prophesy, and those prophecies are full of important truths that will benefit us if we lay hold of them. I. We are a separated people with a glorious future. 23:9-10 II. We are a graced people. 23:21 How could that be said of Israel? God views his people, not as they are in themselves, sinful, weak, destitute, but as they are in Christ forgiven, justified, and complete. Their faith may be very feeble their progress in holiness small their conformity to Christs image imperfect; conscious of their own sinfulness, their own shortcomings, their waywardness they may cry, do not look upon me, because I am black. But to the Fathers eye they are all beautiful, because his robe of righteousness covers them, as God says through the prophet Ezekiel, Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you," says the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 16:14 III. We are a victorious people. 23:23 If God is for us, who can be against us? Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD. IV. We are subjects of the King of Kings. 24:17-19 The US Presidential fiasco isnt going to get me down. V. We are to be an awe-struck and an awe-inspiring people. 23:23 Stand amazed at what God has done and is going to do. Outsiders marvel too! %3hi k { | ( u CJ 5CJ\CJ5\CJ 5CJ$\%hi- .
