S) "1 When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness."
Numbers 24:1 (NASB)
O) This is the epitome of submission to the LORD. When Balaam saw that something pleased Him, he changed his behavior accordingly. There is no deep meaning or hidden secret to this. Balaam had a habit, a routine, of doing things a certain way. But, when God showed him His will, he ditched his habits.
A) Easier said than done; I need to change my behavior according to God's will, which is usually determined through the written Word of God. It all starts with a humble and obedient heart. I need to determine ahead of time, that whatever He says, I will do.

P) Father, I am Yours. I choose obedience to Your will above all else. Show me the errors of my ways, and help me change my habits according to Your will. I concede that You know what is best, and I humbly submit to whatever that is. I want my life and my obedience to please You, LORD. Thank You for mercy when I have been disobedient, and thank You for grace to still use my imperfect efforts. Continue to shape me into the man You designed. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
