The Dumb Ass Spoke – 2Peter 2:16

2 Peter 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. (KJV)

I have refrained from making any political comments concerning this Presidential election. However, two things come to mind. The first: I believe Abraham Lincoln once quoted a French philosopher saying, “In a democracy, people get the leaders the majority deserves.”

The second is out of the Old Testament in the Book of Numbers. Peter was referring to this in the above Bible verse. The prophet Balaam was on his way to do something he shouldn’t ought to do.  An angel was about to smite him when his donkey prevented him from going on.

You see this is why we must pray for and after this election.  God used a dumb ass to save the day at least once.  Perhaps if we humble ourselves and pray, He will do it again.
