There is NO compromise with God.

NONE.

Sure we try to balance things of His wishes and ours. Just like we try to balance work and home. We try to balance vacation and work time, we try to balance our budgets, we try to balance our actions. We don’t balance ourselves well enough, in our diets, our health, our time. So why would we be even better at balancing us and God, than God is with us. We compromise. And that’s what God gets from us too often: us in compromising situations that He did not ask for. He receives us trying to balance our relationship with Him – But God says NO. God says NO compromise, “NO CO”, because compromise is co-promise and God says “NO GO” – “No Co”. We compromise. God Completes. What God builds will stand, NOT what we make by ourselves. God wants us to kneel anyway, and that’s part of our PRAISE, to watch Him Work.

There’s only one Promise, not co-promises, no compromises, not give and take on our terms. There is One Promise, that’s Jesus. Life is in Jesus Himself. 

There’s only ONE Word. Not words but The Word, that’s Jesus. Truth is Jesus Himself. 

Life with wordy and worldly ways has less substance – sub-stance – a sub lower stance than standing on the Word. No meditation other than mediation IN the Word. There are no ways, only The Way, that’s Jesus. The Way is the Way of Jesus. 

God created the world and He will crumble it, no compromise.

God formed the people and He will preserve His Children who look to Him, fear Him in awe and knowledge, and cling to Him over the World.

The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

God made the Law for the people of Moses, then He fulfilled it by Jesus and Jesus alone as sufficient sacrifice. God listens, and in His Name He grants not wishes as much as simply and sacredly continued walking with Him.

“No Co” means NO: no co-incidence with His Intention, no co-operation with His Operation. Our co-operation is not required for Him to get the job done. We are NOT Co-dependant upon each other, we are dependent upon Him. Co-existence is not required either, we exist because of Him, not vice versa. NO CO.

In all this, God DOES want us to be His Children, His Flock, His Flicker of Hope in His Light within us. His Gift of a Son Jesus, within His Own Will, is a Covenant and Promise, remembering our fragility of our humanness. Making a Way. Grace and Mercy are given freely and with FAITH, our faith in Him. Our FAITH is our FAMILY TRAIT to trust Him COMPLETELY,  because in His Hands, we COMPLETE His Love for us. 

The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

God is Love, Be His.

He already Won, Let us Praise His Victory. 

Amen

God closes the book of Psalms (147, 148, 149, 150) with reminders of His Power and Our Praise. Please read and Praise these songs of the Word of God with His Own Praise.

Psalm 147

Praise the Lord.

.

How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

.

The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

.

Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.

.

He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.

.

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

.

Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion. He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast? He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.

.

He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws.

.

Praise the Lord.

.

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord from the heavens;

Praise him in the heights above.

Praise him, all his angels;

Praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon;

Praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you highest heavens

and you waters above the skies.

.

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created, and he established them for ever and ever – He issued a decree that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding, you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and women, old men and children.

.

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens. And he has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful servants, of Israel, the people close to his heart.

.

Praise the Lord.

.

Psalm 149

Praise the Lord

Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.

.

May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them— this is the glory of all his faithful people.

.

Praise the Lord.

.

Psalm 150

Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;

Praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;

Praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,

Praise him with the harp and lyre,

Praise him with timbrel and dancing,

Praise him with the strings and pipe,

Praise him with the clash of cymbals,

praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath PRAISE the Lord.

Praise the Lord.
