Mr. Ed is that you?

Today in our Chronological reading hosted by Wendy, we read Numbers 22-24.

The reading today.

Thanks Wendy, I wasn't understanding why God told Balaam to go and then got mad at him - you cleared that up - God saw his heart. Thx

Then I too was wondering why is he not questioning the Donkey talking? :) (That's why the reference to Mr. Ed)

What struck me also today was how King Balak kept trying and trying to get what he wanted. How many times has any of us tried to get someone to side up with us on something? Then when the other doesn't agree - but look at this and look at that. "Now do you agree?" I was just talking to my husband yesterday about this. How when we ask someones opinion, do we really want it or are we trying to be validated? You will know by your reaction to their answer. If you argue with their answer - you only wanted to be validated. I've been both Balaam and King Balak, and unfortunately I don't think I always listened to my Donkey as well as I should have. But getting better every day!!! :)

I love how Balaam repeatedly says "I will speak only the message that the Lord puts in my mouth." If I could adhere to that... 24-7 - Wow!

Hope you all have a great day.
Blessings
