Tonight we continued our series on how to be a FOOL. We have said that we can be foolish by Falling for peer pressure, by Offering sin a place in your life, and now tonight we said by Ordering your life wrongly. In our story tonight we found out that Balaam did in fact bless Israel instead of cursing them but afterward gave the king advice to send some women their way to draw them away from God. He ends up dying when Israel takes over the land. Balaam had placed money has the highest thing in his life, even above God and his commands, and his actions proved that this was what he based his life on. We can base our lives on things other than God as well (popularity, money, love, entertainment, career, your dreams, etc...) and your actions will flow from what you ahve based your life on. But the end result is the same as Balaam's, it might start well for you but in the end it will end badly. Or we can center our lives on God. Our actions should flow from this, touching every part of our lives (school, family, friends, homework, relationships, etc...) The end result is like Israel, blessed (not perfect) life and eventually possessing the land (heaven). Have you been ordering your life aruond something other than God? Even as Christians we sometimes do this. Do you want to center your life on God instead? Today is a good day to make that change!
I give tonight: D+
