When the king of Moab, King Balak sent for Balaam to curse Israel in Numbers chapters 22-25, Israel was blessed instead as God forbidded Balaam to curse but instead put words of blessings in his mouth through the oft-quoted miracle-incident of a talking donkey. However, the Israelites still fell in the hands of the Moabites when they involved themselves with prostitutes and unclean food sacrificed to the Mobites' idols. They fell into transgressions due to these traps and God had no choice but to send a deadly plague to them. In Numbers 31:16, we know that these traps were set through the counsel of Balaam. How important for us to learn this! God can bless and even perform miracles to grant ALL the external protection and safety to us BUT we ourselves are responsible to make the inner moral choices and decisions. If we choose to sin, do not blame God but be ready to face the consequences. https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
