The story of Balaam and the donkey underscores the importance of spiritual discernment. Balaam couldn't see the angel, but the donkey could, teaching us that sometimes those we least expect can perceive spiritual truths we might miss. We must pray for discernment and wisdom to recognize God's guidance, even when it comes from unexpected sources. This narrative challenges us to remain humble and open to the possibility that God can use anyone or anything to reveal His truth to us.
1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV): "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."
Reflection: Think of a time when someone unexpected provided you with spiritual insight. How can you cultivate a more discerning heart to recognize God's guidance in unconventional ways?
