My schedule has been quite a bit hectic. So i have been slacking with the blogging, but the reading hasn't stopped. I have finished the book of Numbers but will go back to post about the chapters that caught my heart's attention. In Chapters 22-25 we read about a prophet named balaam. He does not belong to the tribe of Israel, but God uses him to blessed the people of Israel. Balak which was an apposing King wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites But every time balaam went to ask to see if God would allow it God pretty much tells him "don't you even think about it!" What got me thinking is that Balaam didn't just take God's word the first time he had to ask a couple more times and always as the first God replied with the same answer, that the nation of Israel was to be blessed. I began to wonder how many times God has spoken his truth into my life and I simply just want to go around what He has said and wishfully think that he might change his mind. Sometimes i have to remind myself that my heart should continue to stay on the course, and seek for Gods truth, that in the long run is ultimately better than anything i could have wished for.
prayer: Lord, O Mighty God. Forgive me for my stubbornness at times. I know i don't fully understand what you are doing in my life, but please grant me the faith and patience to pursue your will for my life. Thank you for the many blessing you have spoken into my life, may i continue to trust in who you are. in Jesus name, Amen.
