Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. Numbers 22:26

I marvel at this passage, but not for the reasons everyone else might think.  Most are shocked that a donkey could speak and that God used the donkey to save a man's life, but this morning I realized here in verse 26, that God so desired to see Balaam do the right thing he moved in front of him not so that he could follow him but so that he could keep him from making a huge mistake.  

Lord, I pray that you would not have to deter me from what I think is right in my own mind.  I pray this morning that you would speak to my heart and the hearts of my family so that we can see your salvation and run to it. May my heart and your heart be aligned.
