The Power of Praise – 2 Chronicles 20:22-23

image.png

As they began to sing and praise, YHWH set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

Our verses today show just what can happen when we give YHWH the praise he deserves at all times. He can turn a situation around in a heartbeat. Right when it can seem all is lost, the situation can make a 180-degree turn just like that.

Remember, whether you want to praise Him or not, He’s worthy. Whether you feel like praising Him, He’s worthy. Even if the situation around you makes praising Him the last thing on your mind, remember, He’s worthy.

We don’t necessarily praise him for the hard times we are in. We praise in spite of the hard times we are in. Is it easy? Of course not. It can be downright hard. Walking out in front of the soldiers armed only with your voice is not exactly the most natural thing to do, but it can bring some incredible miracles.

Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, Shalom.

Wonderful encouragement. We must always praise God because He is good all the time.

We don’t necessarily praise him for the hard times we are in. We praise in spite of the hard times we are in.

and we Praise Him because we trust Him that He is doing something good.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Some really hard things to do! When life seems to be not going in your favor that is when we should lean on Him....I can admit though this is something that I am working on!

Thanks for the comment!

Don't worry me too. The knowledge and the faith that whatever God is doing, He has a plan and that He let everything work for the good for those that He loves. But to praise amidst of the storm it's not always easy. But as you said if we get it right it can produce miracles. Blessings.

Hallelujah !!

Right! Thanks Brother!
