The miracle of the talking donkey is about obedience to Christ. When Balaam refused to listen to God’s commands, God used a donkey to prevent him from blessing God’s enemies. Sometimes God’s most amazing miracles are simply getting in the way of where we want to go. They feel like detours and we get frustrated. But God uses them to not just re-route us, but change us.
