Have you ever wondered why our enemies exist? Through our natural eyes, they are harmful and hurtful in nature. They come in many forms and deceitful for the most part. I believe this has been an ancient question that even from the people of old have struggled to medicate their emotions to somehow ease their restlessness just to make it acceptable why our enemies exist.

Regardless of our opinion why our enemies exist, they will continue to linger and operate ultimately to steal, to kill and to destroy. No one is too strong when they come, in fact they are considered enemies because of their power to make the worst out of us. These enemies separate relationships, cause sicknesses, and steal the very purpose why we are created.

But God knows that there is hope for all of us. God may have allowed them to exist and yet they could be a tool to bring us to a higher level of our calling. But of course, we can only deal effectively with our enemies if we are empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit in us. Like the book of  James said in  4:7 (KJV)      Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

We all have specific enemies, they are exclusively designed for us, through the wisdom of God, to make us achieve the level of maturity and effectiveness to fit to the framework that God has designed for all of us. Some enemies exist to scraped and polish our attitude, some works as a ladder to challenge our mediocrity to reach God’s level of excellence.

For whatever purpose why our enemies exist, God has ways of using them as doors and avenues to serve us and will continue to strenghten our faith and our relationship with Him.

Psalm 110:1 (NIV)  Of David. A psalm.    The Lord says to my Lord:  “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
