“God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.” Numbers 23:19-20
Balaam, a prophet of the Lord, spoke the words above to Balak, the king of Moab. Balak had offered him a fortune in gold and silver if he would speak a curse over Israel.
The prophesy of Balaam illustrates the true character of God. He is not a human being. He is a sovereign God with infinite greatness. God cannot lie and He never changes.
When God speaks, He keeps His Word. When God promises, He fulfills His Word. It is impossible for God to violate His Word or promises made to believers. God and His Word are inseparable!
In this story, God told Balaam that he must bless Israel because He has chosen to bless this nation. Balaam was not allowed to speak or take any action against the authority of God.
If you are a believer, you can have unwavering faith in God because He keep all His promises. He offers you an abundant life and desires to give you more than you think or ask.
He promises to supply every need of yours according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. He died so you can live forever with Him!
The one thing you can trust in this world is the Word of God. He will never fail you! His Word is indisputable!
