In the narrative of Balaam and his donkey, the donkey sees an angel of the Lord standing in the way, which Balaam cannot see. The donkey's instinctive reaction is to move aside, pressing against a wall and injuring Balaam's foot. This act of the donkey serves as a divine intervention, a moment where God uses an unexpected creature to communicate a message. Balaam's frustration leads him to beat the donkey, not realizing the spiritual significance of the situation. This story illustrates how God can use any means to guide and protect His people, often in ways that challenge human understanding. It reminds us to be attentive to the signs and messages that may come from unexpected sources. The incident also foreshadows the revelation that Balaam will soon receive, emphasizing the importance of humility and openness to God's will, even when it comes in forms we do not expect. This passage encourages believers to trust in God's wisdom and to seek understanding beyond immediate appearances.
When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.
