God Makes a Donkey Speak

God Makes a Donkey Speak

In the last story, we learned about the Israelites' continued grumbling and Moses’ anger and that Moses lost the privilege of entering the promised land. In this story, we learn about how Balak, the king of Moab sends Balaam to go and curse Israel and even his own donkey warns him against it, as inspired by the book of Numbers.

Numbers 22:30
A talking donkey? Yep, God loves surprises! King Balak wanted to get rid of the Israelites, so he asked Balaam to curse them. Balaam thought he was a big shot, but he didn't know God. God warned Balaam through his donkey, showing that He can even make a donkey talk! God let Balaam go to Balak, but He wanted Balaam to speak only His words. God used Balaam to show everyone that He's the real God, not like the false gods like Baal.
