Compromise
can be seen as positive or negative. Every
soul has had to cope with its implications. Lawsuits are often settled by
compromise. Without compromise, legislation would not become law. A popular
song a few decades back had this haunting line, "I've done a load of
compromising on the road to my horizons."
Balaam, an Old Testament personality compromised
his belief in God on the road to his horizons. The book of Jude issues this
warning. “Woe to those who blindly pursue wealth while disregarding God’s will
and purpose for their lives.” Balaam needed power and recognition in addition
to wealth. He flirted with evil by thinking he was above reaping evil’s penalties.
God's
word tells you to resist compromising your faith, to resist Satan so he will
flee from you. God sends warning signs when you begin to consider compromise and
temptation. God sent an angel to rebuke
Balaam, but tragically his heart was unwilling to heed the angel’s words. Compromise
can be resisted when you love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
