Small Groups: Feb. 10th

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! How many of you enjoyed the beautiful weather as much as we did? We also got to enjoy spending time studying God's Word with all of your wonderful students... specifically Numbers 22.  We read about the story of Balaam and how the Lord worked in weird ways to communicate with him.  Sometimes God does that... He works in mysterious ways to tell us something or guide us in a certain direction.  In this story we see God use Balaam's donkey to communicate with him.  God sent an angel to kill Balaam to stop him from going down a reckless path.  Balaam could not see the angel, but the donkey could... after the donkey had done everything he could to save Balaam's life, the Lord opened the donkey's mouth and allowed him to speak to Balaam.  A donkey speaking?? Crazy, right? It worked, though.  Balaam realized he was heading down a sinful and reckless path.  After the donkey spoke, God opened Balaam's eyes and allowed him to see the angel as well.  He knelt down and buried his head in his hands realizing what he was doing. 
Maybe in your case what you're doing isn't "wrong"... maybe it's just something God does not have in His will for your life...  With that said, we encourage you and your students to be open to strange communication from God.  Have a great week rbcparents!
