Sovereignty of God.. Num22

Why would God speak through a sorcerer like Balaam? 
God wanted to give a massage to the Moabites, and they had already chosen to employ Balaam. So Balaam was available for God to use, much as He used the wicked Pharaoh to accomplish His will in Egypt. Balaam entered into his prophetic role seriously, but his heart was mixed. He had some knowledge of God, but not enough to forsake his magic and turn wholeheartedly to God. Although this story leads us to believe he turned completely to God, later passages in tge Bible show that Balaam couldnt resist the tempting pull of money and idolatry.

The Bronze Snake on the pole.. Num21

When the bronze snake was hung on the pole, the Israelites didnt know the fuller meaning Jesus Christ would bring to this event. Jesus explained that just as the Israelites were healed of their sickness by looking at the snake on the pole, all believers today can be saved from the sickness of sin by looking to Jesus ' death on the cross.
It was not the snake who healed the people but their belief that God could heal them. This believe demonstrated by their obedience to God's instructions. I. The same way, we should continue to look to Christ.
