Famous Balaam

Rembrandt - BalaamImage via WikipediaBalaam the prophet, was a good example of how dangerous it is to pursue fame in God’s work. Balaam was known for getting answers from God. But caught up with his own notoriety, he pursued a course of action with Balak that God deemed reckless. 


It took divine intervention to get Balaam to wake up and stop a course of action that would dishonor God and God’s people, and put Balaam himself in mortal danger. At least Balaam’s donkey knew enough to take God at His word.
