Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.—Psalm 68:1-3
The Lord gave the word;
Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
"Kings of armies flee, they flee,—Psalm 68:11
Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
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.
Here is another from the same Psalm…
The Lord gave the word;
Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:—Psalm 68:11
When the word is proclaimed, God arises and His enemies scatter. The people were not victorious because of their great might but because of their great God. Not by might not by power but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Beloved…today walk in His power and grace! Proclaim His word. Believe His truths and grab hold of His promises. Share them with those around you and watch the enemy scatter.
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
