God is not a man that He should lie... Nor the son of man that He should change His mind.

In Numbers 22, Balak, king of Moab pays Balaam to curse the Israelites, "Please come an put a curse on these people for me because they are more powerful than I am. I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land." (22:6)

The LORD prohibits Balaam from pronouncing a curse and instead in four “oracles” pronounces a blessing on Israel. Balak frustrated with Balaam inquires, “What have you done to me?”… “I brought you to curse my enemies, but look, you have only blessed them!” (23:11)

Balaam, rightly declares of God, “God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes His mind.” (Numbers 23:19) Balaam ends his third oracle with these words, “Those who bless you (Israel) will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed.” (24:9b) This is exactly the promise God made to Israel in the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12:3).

God is not coerced and cannot be bribed.

He fulfills His covenants.

God does not lie. God keeps His promises.

On Sunday many resolved to trust the promise of Philippians 1:6, “I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Be encouraged. God is commited to your growth in Him. The good work God began in you, He will complete. You have His Word.
