Numbers 23:11, 12  Then King Balak demanded of Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies. Instead, you have blessed them!” But Balaam replied, “I will speak only the message that the Lord puts in my mouth.” (NLT)

Proverbs 26:2  Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim. (NLT)

There is not enough money in the world to make an undeserved curse stick. It is futile to curse those God blesses. God’s blessings are always more powerful than any individual’s hard-hearted opposition. 

Living a life God can and will bless is largely a matter of being where you are supposed to be and doing what you are supposed to do. Israel, in this story, was camped out near the Promised Land. All of the action with Balaam and Balak happened in the hills at certain vantage points where it was possible for them to see Israel stretched out in their temporary campground. 

Israel didn’t have to do anything but exist in the space where God had led them at that moment. Nothing was required from them for God to protect them. They were where God wanted them at that moment in time. 

Where are you today? Are you where you’re supposed to be? Are you doing what you know to do? Simple obedience to God’s clear direction is accompanied by God’s present provision. God provides and protects us in ways we never realize. 

What is your best next step today? Trust God to take care of you as you step into his path for you today.

I will trust God to take care of me as I step into the path he has laid out for me today.

Our Father, thank you for watching over us. Thank you for taking care of us. Lead us in the right way today. Empower us to participate in your plans and purpose. May we live the kinds of lives you can bless and that make us a blessing to others. Amen.

Psalm 106:1-3
Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD?
Who can ever praise him enough?
There is joy for those who deal justly with others
and always do what is right.

Daily D – Psalm 103:1-5

Psalm 103:1-5
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
