Worship Thru Warfare!
"Now when they began to sing and to praise,
the Lord set ambushes against the people of
Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come
against Judah; and they were defeated."
2 Chronicles 20: 22
Sometimes we find ourselves out of money, out
of strength, out of ideas,
or out of opportunities.
But the Christian is never out of everything,
for we always have God.
And with
God, we have everything.
That fact alone is enough to motivate us
to worship Him and wait for His answers.
That's what King Jehoshaphat of Judah did when
his nation was surrounded by three nations’ armies.
Jehoshaphat prayed a prayer of praise, concluding
with these words: “Nor do we know what to do, but
our eyes are upon You” (2 Chronicles 20:12).
All they had was God, so a prophet directed the
king to set out for battle, praising and worshiping
the Lord as they went. And God routed the enemy
armies and delivered
Judah. God was all they had,
and they were delivered.
If you are at the end of your resources
today,
if you don’t know what to do, put your eyes on
God in praise and worship and wait for His
deliverance.
"Prayer is not merely
prattle; it is warfare."
