I think Balaam has just been added to my list of heroes. Here is a man, whom God had to use a literal ass to finally get through to him, but once He did, Balaam gave Him everything He had. He would not waiver in the sight of riches and gold, he would not waiver in the sight of fear -- nothing stopped him from proclaiming only what God wanted to be said.
If only I could do that more! If only I didn't feel like I had to "butter up" a message, or not say certain things for fear of being politically incorrect. What is wrong with me! I should be proclaiming God's Word just as it says it in the Bible. If it is God's Word, it is good enough -- err, it's better than good enough! I should not be sweetening God's Word just to make people feel better. I need to proclaim it as it says and nothing more. That is a new goal I have set out for myself. I am going to speak the truth and only the truth.
