 COMPROMISE

Today's reading: Numbers 21-24

"Then King Balak told him, Come with me to another place. There you will see only a portion of the nation of Israel. Curse at least that many!: Numbers 23:13 NLT

Balaam had been told by God to ONLY do what God told him to do.

King Balak knew that. He had been told that. He listened as Balaam blessed the nation of Israel, King Balak's enemy.

So King Balak did what any 'on-his-way-out' king would do--he suggested a compromise.

Just a little...

Only a small part...

A tiny portion...

Maybe, just maybe, your enemy satan is trying the exact same tactics with you.

He's asking you to fudge on your stance.

He's suggesting that you bend the rules of your beliefs.

He's placing seeds of doubt where God says, Do not fear.

Miniscule suggestions. Tiny detours. Minute changes.

Do not trust him!
