In this portion, we see how the Creator knew what was in Balaam's heart even as he feigned being a servant of the most high, but He still chose to give him an opportunity to do that which was right. In the New Testament, we see Him give Judas a similar opportunity; however, both of these men were not willing to do the Father's will and instead, chose their own way. In Matthew 23:37-38, the Messiah says, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate." In other words, had they been willing, He would have gathered them. Had Judas been willing, He could have been saved. Had Balaam heeded the warnings, things would have been different. As a person, you are being tried in certain situations; your response may determine the future for yourself and others.
