Read - <strong>Numbers</strong> 22:1-15<br />

• I see people act a certain way or make promises they will not keep to get what they want. Manipulation of people<br />

and circumstances can hurt.<br />

<strong>Numbers</strong> 22:1-3<br />

I have been burned by this<br />

I have done this before - who hasn't?<br />

• Like Balak, I have seen how a situation could turn out negatively for me. Yes No<br />

• When that is the case,<br />

<strong>Numbers</strong> 22:4-7<br />

I scheme and plot to change the way things are<br />

I discuss it with someone who could help me and pray about it<br />

I feel overwhelmed, and don't do anything<br />

• Friends or acquaintances have tried to get me involved with their schemes to manipulate. Yes No<br />

• A particular time that happened or could happen to me is:<br />

• When that happens, something I can do or say to stand up for right is:<br />

• An action that would be going along with the wrong scheme could be:<br />

<strong>Numbers</strong> 22:8-11<br />

I will decide before I am faced with that situation, to do what is right<br />

• Balaam did not seek the Lord because he wanted to do the right thing. Instead, he wanted God to make this situation<br />

work out for his own benefit. When I talk to God in prayer, which attitude most characterizes me?<br />

<strong>Numbers</strong> 22:12-15<br />

I want to use God to get my request answered the way I want<br />

My desire is God's plan, even if I don't get my request answered the way I want<br />

• When my instructions from God, my boss, or other authorities are clear but aren't what I prefer, I:<br />

Still try to get what I want 1 2 3 4 5 Obey<br />

Today I will<br />

live for<br />

God's plan,<br />

not try to<br />

make my<br />

own
