God in you

Psalms 68:1-3 MKJV
(1) To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; also let those who hate Him flee before Him.
(2) As smoke is driven away, You drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish in the presence of God.
(3) But the righteous are glad; they rejoice before God. Yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.


In thinking about this Psalm, it amazes me how much I tend to dwell in the hear and now. Let me explain. I know that if all of us were to start showing our 'strong' Christian faith in public, our enemies would not be scattered. In fact, they most likely be going to court in order to get us to stop it. I would think that the persecution of Christians would increase.

But you have an enemy that attacks you every day. He tries to get you to do things with your body that you should not. You justify it by saying, "that is not a sin..everyone does [fill in the blank here]." But if it displeases God, it is a sin. And as smoke is blown away by the wind, you need to drive it away. One way of doing that is to realize the strength of God that is within you. When it arises up, the enemy telling that lie in your ear has to go. When that happens, be glad and rejoice.
