When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. When they had finished the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy each other. 2 Chronicles 20:22 WEB
A great army came up against Israel and King Jehoshaphat was scared because the situation looked hopeless. Still, he went to the Lord in prayer and afterwards brought out the choir in holy attire and sent them before the army, singing, 'Give thanks to the Lord, for His steadfast love endures forever.'
The approaching praise team had to look completely insane to the enemy army, but when they began to sing and praise, God set ambushes against the enemy and they turned on each other and wiped themselves completely out. Not a single person escaped. Israel did not have to kill a man and it took them three days to gather all the spoil.
A vast amount of food, medicine, armor, weapons, clothing, and all types of supplies were 'delivered' right to their door. They spent a long time thanking God for this amazing blessing. The giant enemy army that they were afraid of, turned out to just be delivery boys. God's people faced the enemy, but God won the battle for them.
If you facing an impossible situation today, do not neglect praising God, and face the trouble with a smile. Praise (halal) means to flash, radiate, to shine; to make the Lord look good! Lord, you are Awesome! God's way is not our way, it is better. It just may be that your impossible situation becomes a great blessing in disguise, delivered right to your door by the Kingdom Express.
Prayer: Father, I know that You are in control and I am going to praise You in the storm. I am going to dance in the rain. I don't have to understand everything, for I know that You do. Just tell me what I need to know next and I will trust You with the rest. I love You and thank You, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
