Numbers 21-24
God blessed Balaam by granting him prophetic vision... the ability to see ahead of time whom God would bless and whom he would curse. At some point along the way; however, Balaam lost his way... he forgot that God was the one who blessed and cursed... not him. He allowed the worldly distractions of Moab to tempt him away from God and Israel. Though he was originally blessed by the Lord, he became the bad example to be used through the old and new testament of one who sold his blessings for naught.
Have we wasted blessings in a similar manner? Or more precisely, how often have we wasted the blessings that God has rained upon us, by looking elsewhere for pleasure?
