GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
DAILY DEVOTIONAL
AN INTERRUPTION
READ NUMBERS 22:1 THROUGH 23:30
Pastor Jenkins was completing a key illustration. He had guided his congregation with an inspiring message, and the closing story could offer a perfect ending. But things didn’t go as he’d planned.
At the crucial point in the sermon, Stephen—a child sitting with his parents—stood up and said, “I know a bunch of people who are doing what you’re telling us not to do. Are people gonna keep doing all that stuff?”
Instead of being frustrated, Pastor Jenkins said, “That young man’s statement is the perfect way for me to end this sermon. I join him in asking, ‘Are we gonna keep doing all that stuff?’ ”
In Numbers, it wasn’t a child interrupting Balaam. It was a donkey and an angel.
“Why did you beat your donkey those three times?” the angel of the Lord demanded. “Look, I have come to block your way because you are stubbornly resisting me” (Numbers 22:32).
Such interruptions are needed for those acting incorrectly.
Prayer Suggestion: Ask God to interrupt and direct your steps.
Quicklook: Numbers 22:31–35
