The God who calls everybody everywhere
to come and worship Him alone
is the one who rules and reigns
making His creation all a living stone
This God is Lord of all creation
everything made the Lord has done
He is the king ruling fully in control
for the word incarnate is His son
Jesus Christ God's son in truth
came to earth to die for sin
not His own but He truly loved
those He chose to enter in
This God works by His miracles
displaying His great awesome power
showed here to open a donkey's mouth
simply as easy as a beautiful flower
Truly this is the eternal God
who can do absolutely anything
sovereignly ruling over His creation
as master Lord saviour and king
(Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times". ')
Numbers ch. 22 v. 28 (ESV)
The axe boasts not, nor lets arrogance reign.
By whose hand did buds sprout forth from Aaron’s rod?
Balaam kept blessing God’s people, was all this in vain?
Can man know the might and mind of Almighty God?
Man is a means by which our Lord will prod
other men who govern this world’s domain.
When success is birthed, who is it they should applaud?
The axe boasts not, nor lets arrogance reign.
Jehovah hears when grumblers savor disdain.
Korah’s envy of Aaron was spent with a nod;
the earth swallowed him up for Sheol to restrain.
By whose hand, did buds sprout forth on Aaron’s rod?
Recall Balaam and Balak, now their story’s odd;
when asked to curse Israel, Balaam fought to refrain.
His donkey waylaid him from the angel’s drawn sword;
Balaam kept blessing God’s people, was all this in vain?
We read of the error of Balaam, the way of Cain;
Jude writes that men follow their own lusts and defraud
God who shields them from spoils for which they strain...
Can man know the might and mind of Almighty God?
When Christians take credit where God has trod,
it degrades His Spirit who guides body and brain.
We are clay in the Potter’s hands, His tools though flawed;
A bond-servant works so His Lord gets the gain.
The axe boasts not.
Isaiah 10:15; Numbers 16 & 17; Numbers 22 & 23, Jude 1:10,16
February 24 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Numbers 31-32
Key Verse – Numbers 31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
HEART THAT CONFESSES TRESPASS AGAINST THE LORD
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our dishonesty
Being wearied in our sins, making us empty
While sojourning in worldliness’ bounty…
He alone can pull us from futility toward spiritual maturity.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our loneliness
Being weak in our envy-caused bitterness
While experiencing self-pity in barrenness…
He alone can grab us from worthlessness toward ministry-effectiveness.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our frustrated
Being unsuccessful in our goal-direction
While lamenting along loss-grief’s position…
He alone can drive us from failure’s torture toward victorious restoration.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our arrogance
Being self-sufficient in our abundance
While drowning into disobedience-endurance…
He alone can snatch us from earthly craving toward divine performance.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our backsliding
Being guilty in our Christian standing
While oppressed by materialistic humanistic enfolding…
He alone can bring us from transgressions’ prison toward His holiness-abiding.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our hypocrisy
Being afflicted in our prayer-deficiency
While pretending to be strong in carnal persistency…
He alone can carry us away from fleshly fervency toward His might’s mercy.
We confess our heart’s trespass against the Lord midst our sorrow
Being sad in our servanthood which is just a show
While trying hard to chase after vain success and its shadow…
He alone can transform us from shallow devotion toward commitment glow.

The King of Moab was named Balak
Truth be told, he was cruel, diabolic
Afraid of the Israelites, he hired the sorcerer Balaam
a ‘prophet-for-hire,’ he’d curse the Jews with nary a qualm
Yet whenever Balaam tried to curse the Jews
praises issued forth from his mouth, quite a few
Balak had figured the Jews’ leader, Moses, fights with words of the Lord
So he'd hire the prophet Balaam; the Lord also infuses his vocal cords…
But poor Balak made one enormous mistake
Moses stuttered badly – ‘twas Aaron’s words made the earth quake
Moses’ hidden weapon was his heart, united with God, whom he loved
unlike mercenary Balaam ~ for a heart he was devoid of
Just what are we to make of the angelic,
Afresh from battle, bearers of good news?
A construct quaint, a worn-out, ancient relic
Of bygone days the church just needs to lose?
No infant cherubs splashing 'mid fresh founts,
Limbs delicate and mirthful in the sun,
Scripture portrays more ominous accounts:
Isaiah, David, Daniel, all undone.
They barred up Eden's door with flaming sword,
Of Balaam, made an ass ere he did heed,
And, most feared, came avenging for the LORD.
But when the host proclaimed God as our need,
The tides they brought, of joy, not dread or fear,
With one great voice announced, "The King is here!”
With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
2 Peter 2:14?-?16 NIV
The donkey has made it known
The true King on heavens throne
Who spoke loud with a human voice
Make this Balaam "Not Your Choice"
For, I will carry the One for you to rejoice
This, Jesus I have been awaiting my time
He shall be the One who will make my coat shine
To make known this cross on my back
Has given me a path unto this moment to stay on track
For this day had been foretold.
Of the One who would bring the spirit to mold
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ” The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Matthew 21:1?-?11 NIV
Bethphage
Donkeys are known for their sheer stubborness;
determination beyond compare.
I see three "saints" for donkeys, nonetheless -
Mary's transport to Bethlehem's square
and Balaam's unique donkey, quite rare.
Mary's donkey is not mentioned per se
in God’s Word, but I don’t think she walked.
Balaam’s donkey saw an angel guarding the way.
After two beatings, he sat down and balked;
and in self-defense that poor donkey talked.
Balaam had not seen the angel’s drawn sword
warning him not to return to Balak.
Now he was told to speak only God’s words.
And what of the donkey? now on a sidetrack -
I hope Balaam had some treats in his knapsack.
There IS one more donkey, I should mention,
the one who carried Christ to Jerusalem
near the end of His salvation mission.
The foal of a donkey, a colt bore Him
to His venue of death and human mayhem.
For What You Cry!
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
Poor me, poor me!
You never had dirt under your nails.
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
Poor me, poor me!
You would rather split a child in two.
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
Poor me, poor me!
You so independent but can't pay bail.
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
Poor me, poor me!
Speaking of love, hands out, demand you.
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
Poor me, poor me!
You left, then leave, a victim of your own blaming,
shaming,
gaming,
complaining.
For what you cry, for what you cry!?
You're killing us.
You won't listen and you lie.
"They will be paid back with harm
for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse
in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes,
revelling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
With eyes full of adultery,
they never stop sinning;
they seduce the unstable;
they are experts in greed – an accursed brood!
They have left the straight way
and wandered off to follow the way
of Balaam son of Bezer,
who loved the wages of wickedness.
But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing
by a donkey –
an animal without
speech –
who spoke with a human voice and restrained
the prophet’s madness."
2 Peter 2:13-16
Honor and glory be to God.
