Numbers 23: Let's Not Listen

Now that the donkey is out of the picture, we are left with Balaam and Balak (a prophet and a king)—and Jehovah. Neither of the two men has any real interest in God’s will (do not forget that the New Testament confirms this in 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation). And do not forget that God used both of them to announce His will, protect His people, and magnify His name! God will be glorified! It will be to our benefit to cooperate with Him in this—such is the lesson from the mouth of Balaam’s donkey.
