Balak’s faith was similar to the faith of many people today; he believed in a god made in his own image. He believed in a god who would bend his rule to accommodate the affections of men. He believed in a god who would approve of his actions and attitudes. He wanted a god who would change his mind to meet Balak’s expectations. Balaam showed him the true God. Who is unbending in justice and uncompromising on his promises. Balaam shared the words of the God who only approves of righteousness and truth. The revelation of God that Balak received left an awful taste in his mouth. If somebody rejects truth it doesn’t mean that it is no longer truth. It does display the foolishness of the heart that rejects the one true God.
