And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. Numbers 22:28–29 KJV Balaam was riding his donkey down the road when suddenly the donkey collapsed under him and would not get up. When Balaam became angry and started to beat it with his staff, the donkey started talking to him. Then he started an argument with the donkey. Have you ever had someone that you really had no respect for, suddenly say something very irritating? I have. The Lord sometimes uses the strangest people, or even animals to speak to us. Even worse, He will use these to get under your skin and reveal the real you that you try and hide. Don’t start arguing with the ass today. It is quite possible that God is using this to show you what is really inside of you. It is something in you that causes you to become upset, not them. When you resist the temptation to flare up, it will become easier. Just like sandpaper, the ass is there to help polish you up.
