Balaam is dumber than a donkey because what he does, does not match what he knows about God. Jesus and Peter warn us about people who know God, have experienced Him, and may be gifted at serving Him, but deep in their hearts, they do not love God or care about His ways. How we live needs to match what we know about God. To know him, and not live accordingly is to be dumber than a donkey.
As the Israelites endured the wilderness, they learned to trust in God. Christ was in their midst and they found that Christ provided everything they needed. He is the same to us. Great is his faithfulness.
