>>Numbers Chapter 22
>>verse 12 –
I-1 >DECRETIVE WILL: “Do not go with them”
I-2 >DECRETIVE WILL: “you shall
not curse the people”
[In life’s
situations, we ought to
really say like Balaam said
in >>verse 18 and
>>24:12-13 >
situations, we ought to
really say like Balaam said
in >>verse 18 and
>>24:12-13 >
- "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond THE WORD of THE LORD my GOD, to do less or more."
- And also we are to heed >>Leviticus 10:1-2 and >>Proverbs 30:5-6.
Yet, we are always attracted
to offers and representations
like that recorded
in >>verses 16-17
to offers and representations
like that recorded
in >>verses 16-17
- and give hope to the ones who offer
- (instead of being outright decisive to obey immediately God's decretive will)
- as Balaam wrongly uttered in >>verse 19!]
>>verse 20 – II-1 >PERMISSIVE WILL: “If the
men have come to call you, RISE UP AND
GO WITH THEM (na lang!)”
[Yes, GOD respects
our free will
our free will
- and does not act a dictator to us!
- Yet, HE is not reduced to being inutile
- when we go and contradict HIM via our free will
- and that HE gets angry at us (>>verse 22)
but HIS
PERMISSIVE WILL
accommodates us
PERMISSIVE WILL
accommodates us
- in such situation only to find out
this is always automatically
accompanied with
accompanied with
HIS DIRECTIVE WILL!
III-1 >DIRECTIVE WILL: “BUT ONLY THE WORD WHICH I SHALL SPEAK TO YOU SHALL YOU
DO.”
Yes, with exacting
obedience
obedience
- HE wants of us in every situation
- HE issues out a DIRECTIVE WILL
- to reiterate what HE had earlier decreed!
- But when HE sees us pursue
- ignoring even that DIRECTIVE WILL of HIS
then HIS
OVERULING WILL
takes over us!!!!
OVERULING WILL
takes over us!!!!
>>verse 23 – IV-1 >OVERULING WILL:
- “When the donkey saw
- the angel of THE LORD
- standing on the way with his drawn sword in his hand
- the donkey turned off from the way and went into the field”
>>verse 25 – IV-2 >OVERULING WILL:
- “When the donkey saw
- the angel of THE LORD
- she pressed herself to the wall
- and pressed Balaam’s foot against the wall.”
>>verse 27 –
IV-3 >OVERULING WILL:
- “When the donkey saw
- the angel of THE LORD
- she lay down under Balaam”
>>verse 32 clearly
summarized as HIS
exercise of
summarized as HIS
exercise of
HIS OVERULING WILL
the 3 above
mentioned happenings
HE caused to happen
through the donkey
& HIS angel
in perfect combination
for HIM!
>>verse 35 – II-2 >PERMISSIVE WILL: “Go with the men…(na lang! ”
III-2 >DIRECTIVE
WILL: “ BUT you speak only the word which I tell you.”
