A Sure Defense
The twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy contains a promise to those who "observe and do" the commandments of the Lord, which reads as follows: "The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."
Christian Science shows us that, strictly speaking, our only enemies are wrong or evil thoughts, or to put it a little differently, our only enemy is enmity. The scene of our contest with the enemy, then, is in what is called our human consciousness. In other words, the enemy with which we seem obliged to contend exists, or seems to exist, within our own so-called mortal mentality, and that is where it has to be resisted and overcome.
