Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;—Psalm 68:1
Such a wonderful verse to meditate on today as I go about my day. LET GOD ARISE!
These words from the beginning of Psalm 68 reminded me that when I surrender to God and give Him the preeminence in my life, my enemies scatter. Praying today that the Spirit of God would use it as a catch-phrase to get my attention and remind me to call upon Him for help.
Father…I need You every moment of every day! As I cry out to You today, arise in my heart! Bring the light of Your glory, Your grace, Your wisdom, and Your power into every situation I face. You dwell with the humble…You care for the afflicted and the oppressed. You are my God of mercy…of tender compassion. You go before me in good times and in bad and bring me safely though both.
So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:
"Rise up, O LORD!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You."—Numbers 10:35
26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies' sake.—Psalm 44:26
For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.—2 Corinthians 4:6
2 But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.—Malachi 4:2
Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah—Psalm 68:19
