“Amalek was first among the nations,
but his end is destruction.”
21Next he saw the Kenites and lifted up an oracle, saying:
“Your dwelling place is secure,
and your nest is set in a cliff.
22Yet Kain will be destroyed
when Asshurd takes you captive.”
23Once more Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying:
“Ah, who can live
unless God has ordained it?
24Ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus;e
they will subdue Asshur and Eber,
but they too will perish forever.”
25Then Balaam arose and returned to his homeland, and Balak also went on his way.
Spiritual Strength
“We must credit Balak for one thing; he knew where the strength of Israel was. He did not seek to defeat Israel through military strategy or new weapons. He knew it was a spiritual battle, and if Israel won the spiritual battle, they would certainly win the military battle.” (Guzik)
“We should walk in the same awareness. If we did, we would give more time and attention to building our spiritual strength, in having a close walk with Jesus. We should not allow Balak to be more perceptive about spiritual things than we are.” (Guzik)
Are you building your spiritual strength?
Blessings
