Balaam’s Vain Prayer


Balaam was a diviner hired by the Moabites to curse Israel. However, God intervened causing Balaam to do the opposite of what he sought to accomplish – he blessed Israel. As Balaam inadvertently spoke on behalf of the Lord, he prayed these words:

“Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!” (Numbers 23:10).

The problem with this prayer, as explained by evangelist Smith Bibens, was that while Balaam desired to die like the righteous he did not seek to live like them. Thus, Balaam’s prayer was vain and useless.

God’s Rest In Hebrews



“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). The Israelites blessed by God’s redemptive work in the Exodus all died in the desert. Sin and rebellion kept them from entering the promised land of rest. Likewise, the Hebrew writer tells us that Christians can be in danger of missing the eternal rest God grants unto the faithful. Evangelist Smith Bibens guides us through this great theme of Scripture as he exhorts us to learn from history as we sojourn through this life towards our final destination.
