Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel. So Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: “Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me! Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”
Numbers 22:2-6 (NKJV)
Israel had just taken down the Amorites and King Balak of Moab thought they would be next. What initially looked like a ragtag bunch of former Egyptian slaves actually turned out to be an effective professional army. The irony is that Moab wasn’t even on Israel’s radar.
The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites (Genesis 15:18-21).”
Neither Moab nor Midian made God’s list but Balak was too sick with fear to know that. He had to eliminate this threat. He called on a Midian prophet named Balaam. Balak knew he couldn’t defeat Israel's army alone but at least he could curse them unto they weren’t blameless, then he could strike.
Wait, what? Go back. “Weren’t blameless”?
Yes. I need to share three things with you that explains the entire story. First, “Numbers” is the thematic name of the book but it’s not the literal name. The literal Hebrew name is, “in the Wilderness.” So up top we read In the Wilderness 22:2-6. The book is actually about the experiences of a newly freed kingdom, “in the Wilderness”, on their way to the Promised Land. Second, in verse 4 King Balak says that ‘Israel licks up nations like oxen licks up grass’. A brief internet search reveals how oxen or cows lick up grass. Because cows have a four chamber stomach, when they first eat grass that don’t actually do much chewing. Instead, they eat as fast as they can to fill up their 50 gallon first chamber and save the chewing and digestion for later! Third, “be able to beat”, or “prevail” if you’re reading the King James, doesn’t mean win, it means to ‘find fault’.
As a Heaven-bound Believer in the kingdom, your enemy can’t defeat you outright because you’re covered by the blood of Jesus and you have His Spirit so you’re too powerful. His plan for you is different. His plan is to steal your speed and momentum with blame. Once that happens you’re vulnerable.
Today God says to you don’t fight like a boxer or even a mixed martial artists. Fight like a cow and work hard, study hard, pray hard, and most importantly, remain blameless.
