Connect Numbers 23:22 with another scripture highlighting God's deliverance. God’s Might on Display • Numbers 23:22: “God brought them out of Egypt; He is for them like a horn of a wild ox.” • Exodus 14:13–14, 30: “But Moses told the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.’ … That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore.” Key Connections • Same Deliverer – Both passages center on the LORD who actively rescues His people. – “God brought them out” (Numbers 23:22) parallels “the LORD saved Israel” (Exodus 14:30). • Strength Emphasized – “Horn of a wild ox” pictures unstoppable power. – “The LORD will fight for you” reveals that the battle belongs to Him, not Israel. • From Bondage to Freedom – Numbers looks back on the Exodus as a completed fact. – Exodus records the dramatic moment of liberation at the Red Sea. Why This Matters • Past deliverance fuels present confidence. If God crushed Egypt once, He can crush any foe now. • The imagery of the wild ox encourages believers to see God’s might as vigorous and untamed by human limitations. • Israel’s only task was to “be still.” Faith rests while God acts. Further Scriptures Echoing the Theme • Deuteronomy 33:26–27 – He “rides the heavens to your aid.” • Psalm 18:17 – “He rescued me from my powerful enemy.” • Isaiah 43:16–17 – He “makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters.” Take-Home Reminders • The same God who shattered Pharaoh’s grip still wields the horn of deliverance. • When opposition looks overwhelming, remember: stand firm, watch, and let the Lord fight. |
