“And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you.”

“The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.”

“Saying to them, It is written, My HOUSE IS A HOUSE OF PRAYER, but you have made it a DEN OF THIEVES.”

We need to be careful of stealing from the LORD! How? By neglecting what His word says and doing things our way and not His!

We will always have joy in the LORD when we do things His way and not ours. Be careful of adding or subtracting from His word, His instruction and His ways!

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
