Teen Devotional Follow Along : Day 4

Whipped a Donkey Lately?
Numbers 22

Have you ever made a decision to live your own way?  Were you serving yourself first, becoming carefree?  How did that work out for you?

As we watch the news we can see that around the globe people are consumed with themselves.  There isn’t much regard for the thoughts and desires of the one who made them: God.  People live as if He isn't there.  They often preach an opposite message compared to what the Bible teaches.  You can ask most people, “What does God want you do with your life? What does God expect of us?” ...and sadly, they would have no idea!  They haven't prayed over their life and circumstances.  They haven't considered that God has expectations.  They haven't searched the Bible for answers to life and clarity to make hard decisions.  So, what does a person’s life look like when they have no regard for their Maker?  And, if it weren't for the Bible, where would we go to find out what is right and true?  Who or what would you turn to for wisdom?

In the lesson for today, we will read of a man who decided to go his own way.  He was obedient to man’s will and not God’s will.  As you read through the scripture for today, please take the time to answer the following questions.
