Balaam, a prophet, could not hear God’s voice, but a simple donkey was able to see the angel. 👉 Character of Balaam: • Though he knew God, his heart was filled with selfishness. • He ignored God’s will for the sake of money and personal gain. • He appeared spiritual outwardly, but inwardly he was blind. • He failed to recognize God’s warnings and reacted in anger. 👉 Spiritual nature of the donkey: • Though just an animal, it was spiritually alert. • It saw the angel and recognized the danger. • It stood still to protect its master and endured the ضربات (blows). • It honored God’s will and showed obedience. Lesson: God does not look at our position or name… He looks at our heart. We should not be like Balaam—appearing spiritual outwardly but blind inside. Even like a donkey, we must be able to recognize God’s voice and obey Him. 👉 Sometimes God stops us—not as a curse, but as protection! 👉 If we don’t listen, God can speak even through a donkey! Prayer: Lord, help us not to be blind like Balaam, but give us a heart like the donkey—to recognize Your voice. Grant us the wisdom to walk in obedience to Your will. Amen. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ For prayer please contact: Dr. N. Balu: +91 8142229661 ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
