Numbers 22: When the Donkey Sees What the Prophet Cannot

In Numbers 22, we meet Balaam who appeared spiritual and could hear from God, yet his heart was being pulled by pride, greed, and selfish ambition. Through the unusual story of Balaam and his talking donkey, we are challenged to examine the difference between appearing spiritual and truly walking in righteousness. Balaam’s donkey could see the danger in front of them, while the prophet remained spiritually blind. This message reminds us that God sees beyond our words and actions into the true motives of our hearts. Are we pursuing God for His glory, or are we using spiritual things for our own gain?
