day no. 15,665: worship or warfare because worship is warfare

God shall arise and by His might put all His enemies to flight;
In conquest shall He quell them.
Let those who hate Him, scattered, flee before His glorious majesty
For God Himself shall fell them.
-- Huguenot Battle Hymn, Cantus Christi

These rhymes derive their life from Psalm 68:1-3

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:
Let them also that hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
As wax melteth before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
Yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

When it comes to Jesus it is either worship or warfare. This is because worship IS warfare. If you are not worshiping Him, you are at war with Him. If you are are worshiping Him, you are at war with what opposes Him. Enmity is hard-wired into the system by God the Father. We must fight because our Father does and we must not fall further from the apple tree than we already have.
