Let God Arise
"Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him." Ps. 68:1In the middle of a battle it is the weakness of the saint who cries out, 'let God arise!' I met a woman the other day who is in a battle and there is not much at all she can do about it. She is powerless over the legal system and she faces two undesired options. All she can do is call out, 'let God arise.'
A group of us gathered around her in supportive prayer. It was an exquisite picture of the body of Christ - women spending themselves in prayer and intercession on behalf of this woman, who could only sit and weep. We prayed for the One True Living God to rise up over this woman and over the situation. We prayed for God's enemies, which are her enemies, to be scattered. We asked that those who hate the Lord, and her, would flee before Him.
It is a reminder that when one member of the body is not able to pray, the other members of the body join together to stand in the gap and repair the breach. May God arise over any battle you find yourself in today.
