The Sword of Jehoshaphat

Tuesday, March 12, 2024

God tells King Jehoshaphat that his army is to go into battle led by singers, praising and worshiping Him. The enemy comes with weapons, shields, and chariots, but the army of Israel comes out singing, praising and worshiping God. Imagine going into battle against heavily armed people ready to kill you and you have nothing but songs and your faith. So what happened? The armies that came against them became confused and ended up destroying themselves. God's people did nothing but worship Him. Praise and worship isn't just a nice thing, it's a powerful weapon. Do you want to win your battle, beat the enemy in triumph, and come out of that problem stronger than ever? Praise and worship the King! It's more powerful than all the strategies in the world. Get out your voice and instruments and praise Him even in the battle - especially in the battle! Then the enemy won't know what to do and you will end up being victorious - as victorious as the army, or worship band, of Jehoshaphat.
