Your Daily Prayer đđŸ Numbers 22:28
If God can use a donkey to speak truth, He can certainly use anyone.
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: PEACE
Make peace with someone youâve had tension withâsend a text or say a kind word.
Todayâs story highlights how God used Balaamâs donkey to deliver truth, demonstrating that He can use even the most unlikely messengers. It challenges us to stay open to Godâs voice in unconventional ways and trust that He can use us for His purposes.
STORY
Bible in a Year: God Makes a Donkey Speak
Scripture
Then the Lord opened Balaamâs eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
Numbers 22:31
God can sometimes speak in wild and unconventional ways. Sometimes, we must let go of what we think is ânormalâ and embrace the fact that we worship a God who sent a fish to swallow a prophet, walked on water, and made a donkey speakâŠ
Embrace the absurd.
This episode of Bible in a Year recounts the story of Balaam and his donkey. Balak, king of Moab, summons Balaam to curse the Israelites. However, God comes to Balaam at night, instructing him only to speak the words God gives him.
Despite this divine warning, Balaam sets out with the Moabite officials, leading to an angel of the Lord blocking their path, visible only to Balaam's donkey. Balaam's frustration with his donkey's behavior escalates to the point of violence, yet through God's unconventional intervention, the donkey speaks, revealing the angelic presence.
This moment underscores two lessons:
First, God's messages and guidance can come through the most unconventional means. Donât close yourself off too quickly to the absurd and weird events in life. There might be a message for you.
Second, if God can use a donkey to speak the truth, then He can certainly use you. Stop disqualifying yourself for this flaw or that shortcoming. Youâre at least more useful than a donkey. And if He can use a donkey to save a nation, just think about what He can do through you!
REFLECTION
Reflect on the ways you expect to hear from God and consider the possibility that He might be speaking through less conventional means. Are there "donkeys" in your life, unexpected messengers or circumstances through which God is trying to get your attention? This week, make an effort to be more attentive to the unlikely ways God might be communicating with you.
PRAYER
And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
NUMBERS 22:28
When I begin to take territory on Your behalf, Lord, I thank You in advance for protecting me against the plots and plans of others to curse my life and to create chaos. However in the midst of Your protection, Lord, protect me from myself when I try to move on my own accord. Like Balaam and his donkey I know that You can and will use any sign to stop me from moving in a direction You do not desire me to go. Therefore, keep my mind attentive and alert to see the signs that Youâve placed around my life to protect me. Open my eyes and my ears so that I can hear Your message through different vessels. I decree and declare that I will not allow pride to get in the way of my protection. You have my heart, You have my ears and You have my unwavering devotion, now and forever! In Jesusâ Name, Amen. đđŸ
