Bible Funny Story

 One of the funniest stories in the Bible is the story of Balaam and his talking donkey, found in Numbers 22:21-39.

Balaam was a prophet who was hired by the king of Moab to curse the Israelites, who were encamped nearby. Balaam set out on his journey with his donkey, but God was not pleased with his intentions, and sent an angel to block his path.

Balaam could not see the angel, but his donkey could, and so the donkey refused to move forward. Balaam became angry and began to beat the donkey. Then, in an amazing turn of events, the donkey spoke to Balaam and asked him why he was being beaten.

Balaam was so shocked that he didn't even seem to find it strange that his donkey was talking to him. Instead, he got into an argument with the donkey, telling it that if he had a sword he would kill it. The donkey then asked Balaam if he had ever acted like that before, and Balaam had to admit that he hadn't.

Finally, God opened Balaam's eyes, and he was able to see the angel blocking his path. He realized that the donkey had been trying to save his life, and he fell down in awe before God.

This story is not only funny because of the talking donkey, but also because of Balaam's stubbornness and lack of awareness. It reminds us that sometimes we need to be jolted out of our own self-absorption in order to see the bigger picture.
