Numbers 22:22 (New American Standard Bible) But God was angry because he was going, and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.
God had told Balaam not to go to curse Israel, but Balaam chosen to go anyway. God was angry at Balaam; God tells us not to do certain things but He also gives us the freedom to make the choice to obey. With obedience comes blessings, with disobedience comes curses the choice is our too make.
Ephesians 2:1-5 (Contemporary English Version) In the past you were dead because you sinned and fought against God. You followed the ways of this world and obeyed the devil. He rules the world, and his spirit has power over everyone who doesn't obey God. Once we were also ruled by the selfish desires of our bodies and minds. We had made God angry, and we were going to be punished like everyone else. But God was merciful! We were dead because of our sins, but God loved us so much that he made us alive with Christ, and God's wonderful kindness is what saves you.
You are free to choose, but the choice you make will have either blessings or curses attached to it. Do not waste time making a choice which you will regret.
Love and God Bless,
