What would it be like to have your donkey start talking to you? And one of my questions is why when people read this story do they think think is something that happened "then" and could not happen now... It is the SAME God right??? I would do more than fall off my horse if it started talking to me!!! I may be getting on a little tangent right now, but here I go. There are times in my life when I feel like I am at a crossroads. I'll pray and ask God what we should do and sometimes, I honestly don't get anything, so we just take a step forward and see what happens - hoping that God closes the door if it is the wrong place. This is a perfect "for instance" situation for me. Balaam did what he wanted, and well.. God closed the door by meeting him in the RIGHT place that Balaam would receive it just the right way. I hope I can be more trusting in God and His character to trust that He will meet me when He knows it's right for ME!
Then later on in the Chapter (Numbers 23:19) it says "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Doe he promise and not fulfill?" Oh God... let that be embedded in my heart. Why do I doubt those things. This to me spoke so deeply about trusting the Lord in EVERYTHING - His timing, His promise, His word... EVERYTHING!
Even right now, we are anticipating a move (in houses), but it has been delayed. It is sooo easy to look to the future and think of what it will be like when we move. INSTEAD of looking at the NOW and what God is doing TODAY in where we are. There is a reason why we have not moved yet.. It's the little things in life! :)
Enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow... I am sure Thankful for you!
