What Does This Mean?
In this verse, God speaks to Balaam at night, telling him that if some men come to call him, he should go with them. However, Balaam must only do what God says, not what the men ask.

Imagine you're playing a game where your friend asks you to do something, but your parents tell you to do something else. You should always listen to what your parents say, just like Balaam should listen to God.
Historical Background

Living It Out Today
This verse teaches us to prioritize God's will over others' requests. For instance, if your boss asks you to work overtime on a Sunday but you have plans to attend church, you should follow God's will and attend church.
