When God Speaks Through Unlikely Messengers.
Manage episode 501128752 series 3324280
Ever wondered what would happen if your pet suddenly started talking back to you? In the Bible, one man found out—and surprisingly, wasn't even shocked by it.
Welcome to a fascinating journey through one of Scripture's most unusual encounters: Balaam and his talking donkey. This curious tale from Numbers 22 reveals powerful truths about listening to God's direction that remain startlingly relevant today. As we unpack this ancient story, we discover a prophet who could hear God's voice but struggled to follow divine guidance when money and prestige entered the picture.
How might God be trying to get your attention today? Are there "talking donkeys" in your life—unexpected messengers or circumstances trying to redirect your path? Join me as we explore how to recognize divine guidance and respond with genuine obedience rather than Balaam's half-hearted compliance.
