The enemies of God are also the enemies of the saints of God; those of us who have received Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior and have become His by faith in Christ.  Those enemies attack us on a regular basis and sometimes, we find it difficult to deal with them; however this verse speaks something very powerful to us.  We must allow God to arise in us; in our minds, our spirits, our circumstances, our relationships, in our finances, and in every other thing that concerns us.  As we allow God to arise in us, His and our enemies will scatter. They will flee because they cannot stay in His presence.  This is part of the sabbath-rest that remains for the people of God.  It comes to us as we stand in faith in Jesus Christ. It is also called fighting the good fight of faith.  I encourage you today in whatever you are facing, let God arise in your situation.  Take your hands off it, take your mouth off it, stop talking about it, put  your mind on God and His word and His enemies will scattered.
