The prophet and the talking donkey is one of the most interesting stories in the Bible.In all honesty, I’ve had a hard time figuring this guy out.  After reading the story of Balaam and the talking donkey again, I told the Lord, I’m confused about Balaam?  Was he really a prophet of yours? Or was he false prophet, a sorcerer, a soothsayer? I mean, Balaam did pronounce some of the most inspired poetic blessings in God’s Name upon God’s people. Lord, you also spoke with Balaam several times and your Spirit came upon him several times. If Balaam was a false prophet, a heathen soothsayer, why did you speak directly with him? Why did your Spirit come upon him?  Lord, i’m confused, I don’t get it?
