Balaam and his donkey

The episode of Balaam and his donkey is quite a remarkable tale. Who, but God, could choose to use a donkey in such a way? And not just use the donkey, but enable it to speak. This story has a way of reminding me that I can be useful in God's hands. It reminds me that God using me is not about me; it's about God. God is the one with the power. He can use who He chooses. This is a cautionary tale for all who believe that God could never use them. Let us not forget that He is God. For goodness sakes, God once chose to speak though a donkey.
