“If your allegiance to God is for sale, Satan is resourceful enough and persistent enough to come up with the payment”

“Where are we asking God questions when we already know His answer, only to seek justification for our selfish desires.”

Numbers 24:15-17
 - I see Him but not now
 - I behold Him, but not near
 - A star shall come out of Jacob
 - A scepter shall come out of Israel

"God protected His people, the Israelites, from a curse in this story, and He protects us today from the curse of sun. How? Through Jesus, the Star and the Scepter. Paul tells us in the book of Galatians: 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us.' (Galatians 3:13a) Jesus became the curse, defeated death, and then took His place on the throne, where He reigns today. There is no greater blessing than this."
