Today’s readings speak about the balance of victory of the son of God, His presence and strength, and His balance in His children and servants.

The readings begin with the descent of Moses the prophet to Egypt to meet pharaoh with the promises of God and also the rod of God in his hand and went to Pharaoh with a bond and a heavenly balance and power from above that made him not troubled by the King.

” And Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go….

Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. ” (Exodus 4, 6)

 

And it is from Joel the prophet that the Lord proclaims his permanent credit to man not only in gifts but also in compensations.

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.”  (Joel 2)

 

In the prophecy of Isaiah, He warns the wrongdoers and the looters about the absence of their support and refuge and the depletion of their balance on the day of tribulation.

“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed

What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?” (Isaiah 10)

 

Job’s prophecy proclaims the qualities of the balance holder.

“With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.” (Job 12)

 

Therefore, in the Matins psalm, the soul’s only request is its permanent residence in the church, its security, guarantee and fortress.

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life,” (Psalms 27)

 

The Matins gospel explains how the stock grows with the man who sows and tires in his cultivation, so that it bears a lot of fruit, and the woman who hides her yeast so that everyone brews.

“It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

(Luke 13)

Pauline Epistle explains how God declares His balance and how we keep our balance.

“because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.” (2 Thessalonians 2)

 

That is, God’s credit to us is our choice, sanctification and preservation of His credit in our steadfastness and adherence.

Catholic Epistle declares the balance of the wicked empty.

“But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,” (2 Peter 2)

 

As for Praxis,it refers to the balance of servants and preachers of healing talents.

“And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.”

(Acts 28)

So the soul cries out in the psalm of the liturgy that God may hear her voice and have mercy on her.

“Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.” (Psalms 27)

 

The Gospel of the liturgy concludes with our permanent balance in Christ, the balance of our victory and the power of His word to crush Satan, so He triumphed over the devil with what is available to all of us with the living, effective word of God, which is stronger than every double-edged sword and fasting life.

“But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”  (Luke 4)
