Numbers 22: 31-38
SPEAK ONLY WHAT I TELL YOU
… “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.” Numbers 22:35, NIV
It is obvious from our story today that Balaam’s spiritual antenna had a problem. Despite the various experiences and signs he had from the LORD, he could not discern that God was not in support of his going to consult for Balak. Even after confessing that he did not realize that it was the Lord that was opposing him when his donkey refused to move and even spoke in a human voice; Balaam still embarked on that trip (verse 34).
Meanwhile, that the Lord permitted Balaam to go with Balak’s men does not mean that He approved of his plan. Hence, the Lord commanded him to speak only what He would tell him. This further suggests that the enemy of your soul cannot say anything over your life and it would come to pass if the Lord has not allowed it. You must be at peace because that enemy does not have the final say over your matter. The Lord God is on your side. He will fight for you today and forever. All you need to do is to hold your peace and you will see the salvation of the Lord (Exodus 14:14).
