We continue our sermon series Illustrated Earth as we turn our attention to Biblical stories about animals. Today, we hear the story of Balaam and his donkey and how his donkey was able to see and avert dangers that Balaam could not see. Animals are a part of God’s creation and sometimes better able to sense and interpret inputs from the environment. Animals have intelligence and feelings and are due the dignity and respect humans don’t always give. We are reminded of our interconnectedness to all that God has created, including animals. We seek to learn from them, to honor them.

Today’s message is based on Numbers 22:22-35.
