Grace for your spirit. August 30, 2012

Grace for your spirit
forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness. II Peter 2:15

What could lure us away from serving God as we should, and cause us to go astray? The lusts of the flesh, the eyes, and the boastful pride of life, can make us forsake the right way. Balaam, first mentioned in Numbers 22, is the prime example of where we can go wrong. Balaam was a prophet of God, but for money he came to curse the children of Israel. The wages of sin in this world can look pretty nice, but the end of that road is death. Let's not follow people like Balaam, let's follow Jesus.
