“Therefore, be careful to obey every command I am giving you today, so you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are about to enter. 9If you obey, you will enjoy a long life in the land the Lord swore to give to your ancestors and to you, their descendants

“But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed. 20Just as the Lord has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will be destroyed if you refuse to obey the Lord your God.

The Lord your God will drive these nations out ahead of you only because of their wickedness,

Normally it takes only eleven days to travel from Mount Sinai1:2 Hebrew Horeb, another name for Sinai; also in 1:6, 19.

They tell us, “The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there—the descendants of Anak!”’

“But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God,

 Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see this land because he has followed the Lord completely.

“But the Lord told me to tell you, ‘Do not attack, for I am not with you. If you go ahead on your own, you will be crushed by your enemies.’

“But King Sihon of Heshbon refused to allow us to pass through, because the Lord your God made Sihon stubborn and defiant so he could help you defeat him, as he has now done.

Lord God my Father

Help me to allow your desire to rest on me properly. Help me to see and follow your plan the way you desire and trust you without compromise.

The Lord had defeated the gods of Egypt that night with great acts of judgment!

Then King Balak demanded of Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies. Instead, you have blessed them!”12But Balaam replied, “I will speak only the message that the Lord puts in my mouth.”

So Balaam returned and found the king standing beside his burnt offerings with all the officials of Moab.

God is not a man, so he does not lie.He is not human, so he does not change his mind.

Then Balak said to Balaam, “Fine, but if you won’t curse them, at least don’t bless them!”26But Balaam replied to Balak, “Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?”

“This is the message of Balaam son of Beor,the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,4the message of one who hears the words of God,who sees a vision from the Almighty,who bows down with eyes wide open:

Go back home! I promised to reward you richly, but the Lord has kept you from your reward.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, 11“Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest has turned my anger away from the Israelites by being as zealous among them as I was. So I stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended to do in my zealous anger.

Lord God my Father,

Give me strength and discernment in this world to separate your Truth from deceit. Give me courage to do your will against the will of the fallen and make this desire beyond compromise in my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
