Our Enemies Must Scatter

Scripture
Moses said, “Rise up O Lord! Let Your enemies be scattered and let those who hate You flee before You.”
(Numbers 10:35)
Devotional
When God is on the move, His enemies must scatter before Him. Therefore, we must ask, “Is God on the move in my life?” “Do His enemies scatter before me?” We are to understand that if we belong to Christ, then God dwells in us; and when God is moving in our lives, His enemies will come out strongly against us. They will be evident. Nevertheless, they will also flee before us because of He who is in us. Never fear moving on with regard to the things of God. Never fear taking a stand for His righteousness. Never fear those that may rise up against you because of your desire to reach God’s goal for your life. Expect resistance, but do not cower to it. “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”(1) Keep on moving forward and say, Rise up O Lord! Let Your enemies be scattered and let those who hate you flee before You.”

(1) 1 John 4:4

Questions To Ponder
 
Morning Study Guide
Defining:  “The enemies of God” are not nessesarily those who do not “believe in Him” as much as those who “do not believe Him.” Therefore, they may be found anywhere. I have no doubt that the enemies of God are those who have been or are being duped by the master deceiver, Satan, and his cohorts.
 
Referencing: “Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him,” Psalm 68:1.
 
Applying: May God’s enemies be your enemies and may you not be an enemy of God.
