Communication is one of God's most fascinating creations. My moms dog was trying to tell her there was a young opossum in the house and my mom did not pay attention, she thought she was just barking. My mom said she will never ignore her again. Everything God created has a way to communicate from a dog to a blade of grass that turns yellow when it needs water. God showed us how He communicates in the story of Elijah . 1 Kings 19:11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord .” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord , but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire ]a still small voice. 13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
He showed us with Moses Who provides the voice if we trust in Him. He showed us in Numbers 22 with the donkey , He can communicate any way He wants to. From Angels to a donkey God does what He wants. We are the ones that are limited because we limit Him as Moses did.
Humans communicate all kinds of ways now , we have gone from smoke signals and letters sent by horseman to a tweet that can be seen around the world in a second.
As babies we cry to communicate to our parents our needs or wants. That never goes away ,we still cry to communicate. We have to develop our communication skills over time. Depending on how our parents communicated and allowed us as children to communicate depends if we are Moses or Aaron.
Never limit God as Moses or Balaam did. Pay attention to all that is in your life, from a child to a donkey and stop and ask what is being communicated and never assume as my mom did nothing is wrong or change of direction is not needed as with Balaam.
Numbers 22: 31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face. 32 And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because your way is perverse before Me. 33 The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live.”
Never limit communications , God can speak through anyone or thing He chooses... If a child is acting as the donkey in Numbers 22 do not assume anything, watch and listen. Allow that child to express without fear. Then seek the answer from God the author of communication. Children like that donkey sense and see things different until about 7 years old. They may act like the donkey and it seem wrong, do not be Balaam.
Numbers 22: 23 Now the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road. 24 Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side. 25 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord , she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again. 26 Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord , she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
Our reactions like Balaam's come from what we are taught or what the world says , when everything is suppose to be about God...If you are struggling with communication go to the Author and be open minded how that answer may come...
