    The story of Balaam teaches us the need to watch our motivation and our attitude in seeking God's will. God will speak, but we must be ready to listen and obey Him.

    At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!
