Numbers 22

It is time to redirect your route for a change in your journey of life. Are you paying attention to the signals around you? Now, you are seeing unexpected changes in your journey, and sudden redirections on the road are happening too frequently. Your back road route is becoming blocked on a daily basis. Running into bumps is causing consistent delay, and your timely ride is becoming congested. Is there any need to slow down and pay attention to the causes of all these sudden challenges in your journey? A more reason for you to reexamine why challenges are slowing you down is because you are a person of faith, one that loves the Lord or serves the Lord from the heart. Balaam was a man of God, but he failed to pay attention to warning signals when his ride began to face challenges. He was going to answer BalakÕs request when his donkey left the main route and began to roam from the field to the narrow paths–to vineyards and against the wall. All the redirection was to stop Balaam from answering where God did not call him. Having roamed around back and forth, the Angel of the LORD showed himself. Numbers 22:27, ÒAnd when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balam; so BalaamÕs anger was aroused and he struck the donkey with his staff. Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, ÔWhat have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?ÕÓ You do not have to go that far before you change your route.
