y are snares, obstructions, handicaps, or everything that impedes us in anyone way. It namely something that gets in a persons way. In Romans 9, Paul talked almost Jesus being a stumbling block in the Jews’ way. The humble Jesus who came was not the Jesus they were seeing for.
Although stumbling blocks may deter us from doing what we want to do, that does not necessarily average that they are wrong. They are ordinarily there for a intention and may be God-sent. The story of a man called Balaam in the Bible, gives us an sample an sample of a stumbling block that was sent by God to defend a man.
As the story goes, Balaam was a prophet who wanted apt please Balek, for of the matter entities namely Balek attempted him. Balek, the King of Moab, sent some of his differentiated men apt obtain Balaam to come and swear the Israelites whom he considered to be a threat because they were so numerous.
God told Balaam not to go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Balaam wavered in his spirit, harnessed up his donkey and set out. Sounds familiar? This made God angry, so God sent one saint to block the path. When the donkey discerned the angel standing in the road with a sword in hand, the donkey rushed off the road into the field, but Balaam knock the donkey and got him back ashore to the road. The angel kept emerging in the way, production it impassable for the donkey.
Balaam’s rage additional and he persisted to beat the donkey. As he did that, something very strange happened: And the LORD opened the jaws of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these 3 periods? (Numbers 22:2 .
When the donkey spoke to Balaam and Balaam began to dispute with the donkey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], God opened Balaam’s eyes, causing him to see that his donkey that had been his stumbling block was in fact preventing him from getting slew.
It was at this point that Balaam conceded to God, and in the end God’s purpose was performed via Balaam’s prophecies that God commanded him to deliver. This saved the nation of Israel. The moral of the story: Listen to God and be tame to him, He forever concerns for you.
