What happens when God speaks through the most unexpected voice?
Balaam was on his way to fulfil a mission that appeared profitable and important. Yet, although he could not see what lay ahead, his donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword. When the animal repeatedly refused to move forward, Balaam responded with anger. Then, in one of the Bible's most extraordinary moments, God enabled the donkey to speak.
When God Spoke Through a Donkey explores the remarkable encounter recorded in Numbers 22, revealing how God can use unexpected people, circumstances, and even unlikely instruments to deliver His warnings and accomplish His purposes. The story of Balaam and his donkey is not merely a curious miracle; it is a profound lesson about spiritual blindness, obedience, greed, divine protection, and the sovereignty of God.
Through careful examination of Scripture, readers will discover how Balaam's inability to see what was spiritually happening around him contrasts with the awareness of his animal, and how God intervened to prevent him from continuing down a dangerous path.
