“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 my God.

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!”
“Look, I have come to block your way because you are stubbornly resisting me. 33Three times the donkey saw me and shied away; otherwise, I would certainly have killed you by now and spared the donkey.”
34Then Balaam confessed to the angel of the lord, “I have sinned. I didn’t realize you were standing in the road to block my way.

Lord God,

“But you all came to me and said, ‘First, let’s send out scouts to explore the land for us. They will advise us on the best route to take and which towns we should enter.’

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the lord your God must die. In this way you will purge the evil from Israel. 13Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid to act so arrogantly.

You may only cut down trees that you know are not valuable for food. Use them to make the equipment you need to attack the enemy town until it falls.

Lord God,
May I have the courage to fight the enemy in my life I haven’t let go of and surrender my will to do your will. Your way leads to freedom, my way to bondage to my weakness, deliver my to your glory to the life you have promised. Give me power to slay the ways I follow that do not come from you directly.

In Jesus name,

The godly are showered with blessings;
the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.

To learn, you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction.

Lord God,

In Jesus name,
Amen

You have been deceived by your own pride
because you live in a rock fortress
and make your home high in the mountains.
‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’

Lord God,
I admit I try to manage your desire, I try to align it with my own. Lord God, I surrender to your will, remove my desire and replace it with your own. Allow me to walk boldly in your path and have the courage to defeat my broken way.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Am I the one they are hurting?” asks the Lord. “Most of all, they hurt themselves, to their own shame.”

‘Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’

Lord God,
Open my heart to your truth, keep me from growing stronger but make me weaker so I may trust in you more, trust in you for everything. Give me strength and focus on your task for me today. May I allow you and only you to be my God this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen
