Bilaam's Failed Curses
Tomorrow in the Torah, we will read the story of Bilaam & Balak. They were antisemites who tried destroying the Jews.
The unique thing about Bilaam, was his amazing connection to G-d. The Talmud teaches that he could talk to G-d just like Moses.
This guy was so connected to G-d that he even asked for permission to “curse the Jews” .
G-d said no.
But he couldn’t stop himself, so he tried anyways.
And failed.
Three times!!!
Each time Bilaam tried cursing the Jews, G-d made blessings come out of his mouth.
Despite his deep connection to G-d, he just didn’t get the point…
My blessing for you is that G-d turn any “curses” in your life turn into blessings, and that you (and me) “get the point” of what G-d wants from us.
