Yet to those who received Him
Who believed in His name
He gave the right to be, children God
I will stand on this promise
I will trust in His name
I know for sure that Jesus will be with me everyday.

Day 60.

One of the subtitles for today's passage was: Balaam's ass talks. haha.. It's just as the title says, and in Numbers 22, Balaam's donkey talks! The amazing thing is that when the donkey opened itt's mouth to speak, Balaam wasn't shocked or anything and just replied to it like he was having a normal conversation with a normal person. If i see a donkey or animal talk, i'll most probably flip and faint right on the spot..having being able to experience such a thing is just something so crazy that my mind cannot imagine. But then again, God is the God of the impossible, and through Him all things are possible! So if God really wanted to speak to me through an animal, i will not limit God to what He wants to say to me haha.. The one thing i was confused is that in Numbers 22:20, God told Balaam to go and follow the messengers that were sent, but then in v22 it says God's anger was aroused because Balaam went..

20 And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men come to call you, rise and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you—that you shall do.” 21 So Balaam rose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

Hmm that confused me for abit.. But anyway, another cool thing was when Balak summoned Balaam to curse the Israelites(God's chosen people), Balaam ended up blessing them all three times! Lesson learnt, if we are blessed by God, whenever our enemies try to curse us, we will get blessed instead!
