THOUGHT OF THE DAY!

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ”

BIBLE TRIVIA

1.  Balaam's donkey spoke to him while they were traveling to meet Balak, the Moabite king. What was the basis for the donkey's words?

1. The donkey was questioning Balaam's judgment in meeting with an enemy of Israel.
2. He was asking Balaam what it might take to get God to turn him into a gazelle.
3. The donkey was telling Balaam that if he refused to curse Israel, Balak would surely kill him.
4. He was complaining about being beaten by Balaam.
5. The donkey was exhausted and wanted to rest.

2.  Why did Balaam ultimately bless the Israelites rather than curse them as Balak had requested?

1. Because Balak only offered half the reward he expected.
2. Because he could not go beyond the word of the Lord.
3. Because he feared reprisal if the Israelites were victorious over Balak.
4. Because Aaron had once saved his life.
