Intro
close your eyes
imagine the scene of Balaam’s sorcery

Journey
Visions
Application
the one who was supposed to be the great seer and sorcerer and giver of blessings and curses
the one who believed himself to be the divine and mystical and mysterious and all powerful
he is brought low before God, reduced to simply a mouthpiece
understanding what “God” truly means
an image of God seemingly randomly thrown in the midst of the story with none of the regular characters
God works and speaks and blesses and curses
his creation is his to love and his to demonstrate through and no one else’s
we often try to act like we can hold God in our hand rather than recognize that he is God
we pray for our wants and whims and we get upset when things don’t go our way as if any of that is what the God who created is really concerned with
he wants you to have life and life eternally with him
he wants that and others having that to be your focus
everything else is me wanting more for myself, trying to take God’s place, or hold his power in my hands somehow
