God Might Give Us What We Want to Our Detriment

Some people have a mistaken notion about God. They think that if God doesn't want them doing something, that He will prevent them. But it doesn't work like this. God might give us what we want to our detriment. If we push God, He might let us have what we want even to our own detriment. We saw that in last Sunday's sermon when God let Moses take Aaron with him. We see it in this sermon when God gives the Israelites meat in the wilderness and lets Balaam go with Balak.
