Numbers 22-24

How much am I like Balak? I make up my mind as to what I need and how I want to see events unfold. Then I go looking for someone to agree with me and show me God's affirmation as well. Even those of us in the church follow Balak's path too often. I know that I need to slow down and seek out God before I finalize my choices. I need to listen for the voice of God before he speaks through a donkey. God is a giver of blessings for those who please him. And it is our faith and dependance that develops us into people who please God.
It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage.
