PORTION COMMENTARY

LIFE'S LITTLE INTERRUPTIONS

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

If God can speak through a donkey, He can speak through anything and anyone. A person should always be attentive to the words of others, always listening for the voice of the LORD.

COMMENTARY:

The angel of the LORD appeared on the road with a drawn sword to stop him. To Balaam the angel was invisible, but the donkey on which Balaam was riding could see the angel.
