Paths to follow

Numbers 24:17

Balaam’s message

I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near.

A star will come out of Jacob; a sceptre will rise out of Israel.

He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth.

Prayer

Father God, you must have planned everything from the beginning. Help us to see your plan and our part in it. Enable us to recognise these paths in others too, the work we are each called to and our hope for the future. Amen.
