Heavenly Father, thank You for the insights we gain from the story of Balaam and his little donkey. Thank You for showing us how destructive a love of money and a lust for wealth can be... blinding us to the truth and impeding our spiritual discernment and understanding. Keep me from any lustful thoughts and give me spiritual discernment and the wisdom to recognise if I am becoming embroiled in anything that may endanger my soul. Open my eyes to see You and my ears to hear Your call, and lead me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake, AMEN.
