Today, we’re diving into an important lesson from the Bible about the “donkeys” we need to remove from our lives, based on the story in Numbers 22. In this chapter, we read about Balaam, a prophet whose path was challenged by his stubborn donkey. God used the donkey to correct Balaam and open his eyes to the dangers he was facing. This powerful story teaches us that sometimes, unexpected sources or difficult circumstances can be God’s way of getting our attention and guiding us back to the right path. Understanding the significance of Balaam and his donkey can inspire us to identify and remove the negative influences in our own lives that hold us back or lead us astray.
