What the Bible says about God's "Good List"
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Numbers 22:32

God does not demand, "Why did you leave your house when I told you not to unless they came back to you," but he asks Balaam why he struck the donkey. God was quite concerned about this donkey; one could say He was more concerned about the donkey than about Balaam at this point, because the man was not on God's "good list." God has a soft spot for the weak—"the poor" the Bible calls them. And such are we.

Yet, here was Balaam, who had pretensions of being a good person but who was thoroughly evil, taking out his frustrations on the righteous, symbolized by this donkey—those who see God and try to do what He says. Balaam, in the seat of power over the donkey, beats her for obeying God. So God's concern is rightly for His oppressed creature.
