“Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.” Deuteronomy‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬. When Israel’s enemy hired Balaam to curse them, God took control of the situation and used him instead, to pronounce blessings upon God’s people. How we need to realize that our Sovereign God, Who loves us as His children, is still doing the same thing in our lives and in our world today! Over and over, He takes the very things our enemies intend for our harm to bring spiritual good to our lives. Today the enemy is using every means at his disposal to curse the church and drag the name of Jesus through the gutter. But when these things happen, let us remember that satan never has the final say. God is still in control and the last move will always belong to Him! Our God loves us so much, and has such infinite power and wisdom, that He will turn the curse into a blessing for those who remain faithful to Him. And as we recognize His great blessings and care for us, we will know it is all because He loves us.
