In Numbers 22-24, Balaam's donkey speaks, defying its nature. What theological tension does this unexpected miracle highlight concerning divine sovereignty and human agency?

A It emphasizes that God will always use animals to communicate his will, regardless of human obedience. B It primarily illustrates Balaam's wickedness, as he was so blinded by greed that he could not recognize a miracle occurring right before him. C It underscores God's absolute sovereignty, demonstrating that He can use even the most unlikely and unwilling instruments (including animals) to accomplish His purposes, while simultaneously highlighting Balaam's freedom to choose obedience or disobedience. D It proves that animals are inherently more perceptive to the divine than humans are, suggesting a hierarchy of spiritual understanding.
