On the same page

Numbers 24:12-13  NIV
12Balaam answered Balak, “Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, 13‘Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD—and I must say only what the LORD says’?

This was in the reading I was doing today.  This is a good verse for people who question the stance of speaking when the Bible speaks and being silent when the Bible is silent.  We are not to add to God's word or take away from it.  How can we go and do anything but what God commands us to do.  This the same as Steven's IEP and the overall plan at ICA.  How can we consitently teach Steven what he should do to grow in life if we aren't on the same page.  We have to be as one as we teach Steven.  We also have to be as one when we discipline him.  As Steven sat on the floor this morning by Miss Kim and I someone set off the buzzer to get help with him.  There were about 5 people that responded to the buzzer.  If they all aren't on the same page of what to do, my son would remain on the floor the rest of the day.  But they know the plan and are excellent at implementing it to help my son have a better day.,  Please remember this verse as you go through your day as you are faced with decisions.  Obviously we have to do what we feel is right when the Bible is silent, but don't curse anyone when the Bible doesn't say it is wrong.  I use the word curse because of the context of the verse above.  It doesn't matter what we will receive from the world if we do as they ask, our treasure is laid up in heaven with God.  This way, we can make sure we stand united as Christians. 

God bless,
