There are five oracles in the reading today. What is the world is an oracle? An oracle is a writing to seek wisdom about the future from a wise person. These oracles are directed from Balaam to God.
In the fourth oracle we see this form displayed..."Who has knowledge from the Most Hight, and who has vision form the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are open."
In this week of Thanksgiving, we read that righteousness precedes harverst according to the Psalmist. Our obedience is required to bear fruit for the Kingdom. In the Gospel of Luke (10:2)
Jesus speaks of the "harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few." Is there not a connection of righteousness to prepare for the Lord's harvest? Could we not connect Balaam's oracles seeking God's counsel, as a model to prepare for harvest? Are we obedient to God's higher purposes?
