HE IS RISING

My God is nearer to me than sometimes I realise.

Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Psalm 10:1

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? Psalm 22:1

When God seems not to be there, He may be the nearest He has ever been.

Psalm 68 tells us God is never dormant.

HE IS RISING, v1 is the time of the presence of an enemy provoking you.
You need to pray ‘God arise in my situation’. Not ‘my’ enemies but ‘his’.
It is not what opposes ‘me’ but ‘Him’ that is important.
Some enemies are important, they need to stay. We need to know which.
For the presence of an enemy in your life can be the greatest means of GRACE ever experienced.
2 Corinthians 12:7-9 “You do not need anything more to deal with the enemy that I am never going to remove.”
“My unconditional love, kindness, Grace is enough.”

The presence of an enemy in your life can be the greatest means of POWER ever experienced.
2 Cor 12: 9 being too weak to remove an enemy is the time when you are the strongest.
So why do we pray God arise (Psalm 68:1)? It is because the things that should not be there are removed and what He wants there remain.
Therefore the focus of our praying is not to get the enemy out, but to get God in.
HE IS NEARER THAN YOU REALISE!
