Commentary on Numbers 22:38
Balaam arrives and tells Balak 'Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.' This accurately acknowledges his prophetic limitations—he cannot curse whom God hasn't cursed. Yet Balaam's later actions (counseling Moab to tempt Israel to sin) revealed that intellectual acknowledgment of God's sovereignty doesn't equal heart submission.
