Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown. The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.[a] The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.” Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back. Numbers 22:31-34 (Living Bible).

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, John 3:14

The children of Israel were being attacked by fiery snakes until they repented and Moses lifted up the bronze snake.
We must all look up to Jesus so that we might be saved.

 Then the Lord descended in the Cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tabernacle. “Aaron and Miriam, step forward,” he commanded; and they did.  And the Lord said to them, “Even with a prophet, I would communicate by visions and dreams;  but that is not how I communicate with my servant Moses. He is completely at home in my house! With him, I speak face-to-face! And he shall see the very form of God! Why then were you not afraid to criticize him?”   Number 12:5-8 Living Bible

Moses was a friend to God and spoke to Him face to face. As His children, we must guard our time with God and spend time in prayer and Bible study.
