The Awesome Power of Praise This entry was posted on 09-18-2006 and is filed under Devotional. "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 NKJV).
What do you when you are surrounded by problems? Worry? Fret? Throw in the towel? Learn a lesson from the battle strategy of Judah against their enemies. It's one of the strangest but most effective you will ever read about! Jehoshaphat appointed certain people to advance on the enemy armed only with singing accompanied by harps and trumpets (v. 28). Their song was their weapon of war. "Praise the LORD: for His mercy endures forever" (v. 21). This so confused their enemies that they turned on one another until not a one was left. I wonder how many of our enemies could be routed today if we simply decided to sing in the face of adversity? Paul and Silas did and they were released from prison (Acts 16). Don't start a day without a song in your heart and on your lips! Song: Sing and you'll be happy today, press along to the goal, trust in Him who leadeth the way, He will keep your soul; Let the world know where you belong, look to Jesus and pray, lift your voice and praise Him in song, sing and be happy today.
