God’s Protection Over Israel: Lessons from Balaam

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day study on God’s protection over His people as shown in the story of Balaam. The Bible often reminds us that God is sovereign and actively involved in the lives of His people. One striking example is how God stopped Balaam, a prophet hired to curse Israel, from harming His chosen nation.

In the book of Numbers, we see Israel encamped in the wilderness, a people beloved by God but vulnerable to attack and curses from their enemies. Balaam was called upon to curse Israel for personal gain. God, however, intervened at every turn, demonstrating His control over circumstances and even over the words of one aiming to oppose His will.

This study will take you on a journey through this narrative, uncovering rich truths about God’s protection, His sovereignty, and the power of His spoken word. You will learn how God’s providence shields His people even when they face threats unseen and how He turns curses into blessings.

As you meditate on these passages, reflect on how God might be working in your own life to protect and guide you. Be encouraged that no scheme or attack can thwart the plans God has for you. He is with you, stronger than any threat, and worthy of your trust.

Let this study deepen your faith, sharpen your understanding of God’s mighty hand, and inspire you to rely on Him wholeheartedly as you navigate your own challenges.
