Numbers 24
Balaam has his faults but here is provides this prophecy regarding Jesus. In this case, Balaam is compelled to deliver the Good News of a coming savior. Jesus is this savior. I must share Jesus just as Balaam is compelled.
Just as Peter does:
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God able to do all, all knowing, slow to anger and abounding in love. I know You love me. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth Your love and compassion. I hold back. Please forgive me!! Help me overcome my sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Help me share the Good News! Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth. Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong. A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city.” v17-19

Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, ‘Even
if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do
anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the Lord—and I must say only what the Lord says’? v12-13
Just as Peter does:
As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:20
