But Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the command of the LORD my God to do less or more." Numbers 22:18
This is without doubt my favorite story from childhood. It tells of a man who was being used by God to do great things, but he wanted the power and prestige of a king. He said the right things at first, but God knew his covetous heart. When God speaks it should be enough for us to be content and abide with Him.
"Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing," 2 Peter 2:15
