A man from the tribe of Dan

Had a plan to save his clan

He asked God for a sign

To bring peace to their line

And what he saw was grand!

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Numbers 22 is to remember that God’s will is always best. The passage tells the story of how the Israelites wanted to go through the land of Moab, but Balaam, a prophet hired by the king of Moab, tried to curse them. However, God overruled Balaam’s efforts, showing that God’s will is always greater than any other plans or desires. We can take this lesson to heart and remember that, no matter what our plans or desires might be, God’s will is always what is best for us and for our lives. As we go about our daily lives, it can be helpful to pause and take a moment to consider if our decisions and choices are in line with God’s will. If not, we should take a step back and reassess to make sure that our actions are what God would want us to do.
