Then the Lord gave the donkey the ability to speak. “What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?” it asked Balaam.29“You have made me look like a fool!” Balaam shouted. “If I had a sword with me, I would kill you!”

Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the roadway with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam bowed his head and fell face down on the ground before him.

‘Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the Lord.’

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes to your direction, give me focus to do your will, protect me from distraction.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
