Numbers 22 ; verse 24-25
Balak Summons Balaam
Balaam’s Donkey
24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.
24 بعد میں خداوند کا فرشتہ دوسری جگہ پر کھڑاہوا جہاں سڑک تنگ ہو گئی تھی۔ یہ دو انگور کے باغوں کے درمیان کی جگہ تھی۔ وہاں سڑک کے دونوں جانب دیواریں تھی۔ 25 گدھے نے خداوند کے فرشتے کو پھر دیکھا۔ اس لئے گدھا ایک دیوار سے سٹ کر نکلا۔ اس سے بلعام کا پیر دیوار سے چھِل گیا۔ اس لئے بلعام نے اپنے گدھے کو پھر ما را۔
My point of view about above verses
God asked Balaam (a non -Israelite prophet) who are these men with you - He told they are sent by king of Moab to curse Israelites
God told Balaam, don’t go with people of Moab as their king want you to curse Israelites, Don’t do this as they are blessed people
When Balak summon Balaam second time to curse Israelites – God allow him to go with him but told him to do only what God will tell him to do or say
Now Balaam is ready to go with Moabite officials but God was very angry and God’s angel stood in the road to oppose him. When donkey on which Balaam was riding saw Lord’s angel and turned from road into the field & Balaam get it back on the road
2nd time God’s angel stood in narrow path and donkey saw it and pressed close to wall, crushing Balaam’s foot - So Balaam beat the donkey again
Not only the kingdom of worlds are in God hands but all the people and even animals and He can use anything as He wants to - as He is the creator - sometimes even God get angry on people who seeks his permission to do certain things - like in case of Balaam but we are so busy to accomplish our missions that do not revisit the issue - Let ask God to be merciful
Let God give us wisdom to understand His word and help us to apply it in our lives
