Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. (NKJV)
If God rises up in your life, what's going to have to go? If the Light of Life were to shine into the dark recesses of your soul, what would scurry away into the black?
We've all turned on a light and discovered vermin making a mad dash for cover at some time in our lives. Gives me the "heeby-jeebies" just typing about it! Decay, disease, and even death are in their wake, and no housekeeper in his right mind puts up with them.
So why do we put with their spiritual equivalent? The Silverfish of Selfishness, the Cockroach of a Critical Spirit, the Rodents of Un-confessed Sin, the Flea of Spite, the Earwig of Lust, if left unchecked do far deadlier damage to the hearts and minds they inhabit than their physical namesakes.
Just had a thought: these sound like villains Buzz Lightyear might face in his TV adventures. He always fought his enemies with his laser - focused Light!
It's time to shine the Light into all the places spiritual vermin hides, leaving them no comfort zone. We are going "To Eternity - And Beyond!" and we don't need any hidden passengers.
...for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. (Ephesians 5:8-11, ESV)
