The events in Numbers teach us something about Jehovah: if He blesses nobody can change that. Balak tried to have Balaam curse Israel thrice, but the Lord would not allow it. Numbers 23:8 and 23:19-20 stress that point. On the other hand, if the Lord decrees your downfall, only He can avert it – Numbers 24:20-24. What has the Lord said about you? May He be merciful towards us and bless us. May we seek Him, receive it by faith and live for Him.
