Heavenly Father, thank You for the insights from the story of Balaam and his little donkey. Thank You for showing me how destructive a love of money and a lust for wealth can be, blinding people to the truth and impeding 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, my ears to hear Your call, and lead me in the path of righteousness, for Your name’s sake. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
