Are you smarter than a Donkey?
Numbers 23:19-23 God is not man, that he should lie,or a son of man, that he should change his mind.Has he said, and will he not do it?Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Behold, I received a command to bless:he has blessed, and I cannot revoke it. He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob,nor has he seen trouble in Israel.The Lord their God is with them,and the shout of a king is among them. God brings them out of Egyptand is for them like the horns of the wild ox. For there is no enchantment against Jacob,no divination against Israel;now it shall be said of Jacob and Israel,‘What has God wrought!’
Many of us are familiar with the story of Balaam and the donkey, and how God works to make sure His message is given, and given right to King Balak. What we often do not do is take time to see what that message was. The above quote from one of the messages God gave contains so much truth that is common knowledge (at least to the follower of God.) God tells the truth. He keeps His Word. He blesses and delivers His people. No one can change these things. God is the one who brought Israel out of Egypt, not Moses. A wise person looks and says: "See what God has done!" Even a donkey can see that!
