But the people grew impatient on the way; 5they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!”

The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. 

Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”

Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. 

Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me in your Peace so I may not allow my emotions to divert your desire in me. Give me courage to do your will and open my eyes to see your desire. Help me to see what you wish and not what I expect.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
