The heart of an ungrateful person spews
out anger and pessimism and nobody responds well to that. But praise brings the truth of
God along with optimism, peace and encouragement to a lonely and distressed world. So
praise the Lord unceasingly to see the people around you recognize the greatness of God
and thus give their lives to him. This is evangelism at its best.
Now to those on the outside, sending
praise singers out in front of the army might seem a bit wacky. But this is not so for the
people of God. Indeed, the ways of the world are not suitable for those who love God and
worship Him. They fight their battles by other means than human might. “As they began
to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Like the enemies of The important thing to understand is that
we are not involved in a physical battle but a spiritual one. (Eph 6:12) Thankfully for
Jerusalem Jehoshaphat realized this and sought his victory through prayer, worship and
praise. This same victory is available to all who will do the same. Daily each of us is caught in the middle
of a spiritual war. Who is against you today as a result of your faith? Are you feeling
persecution at work because of your Christian beliefs? Do people look down on you or are
you held back as a result of your testimony? Has a sociology or philosophy professor in
college given you a lower grade because you defended the faith in your term paper? Has
your teacher instructed you not to pray, not to carry a Bible or not to wear a T-shirt
that mentions the Christian faith? Does the community that you work in scorn you because
of your adamant stand for Christ? Do you sense the disdain of others because you fail to
give into the crowd who is bent on liberalizing doctrine or bringing the ways of the world
into the fold? Are people lying about you or misrepresenting your intentions? When you
speak out the truth do your critics attempt to make it a personality issue at your demise?
Do you always find yourself at the bottom of the political fray? Do you feel that you are
standing alone at times? The one who praises the Lord with an
attitude of gratitude never stands alone. “He who dwells in the secret place of the
Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He
is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’ . . For He shall give His
angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you
up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” (Psalms 91: 1-2, 11-12 MKJV) Through the years I have faced many
obstacles. Again and again I have lived under the attack and felt the hatred of those who
became angered at me because of the testimony of Christ. Without exception, regardless of
the adversity that I have faced, I have seen the Lord’s hand in it. Every time God
has provided for me and rescued me from the enemy’s clutches even as He has dealt in
an appropriate fashion with those who have sought my ruin. In all of this I have learned
to praise the Lord, not for my circumstance but in my circumstance. As the psalmist wrote
even before he saw God’s victory fulfilled, “But I have trusted in Your mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt
bountifully with me.” (Ps 13:5-6 MKJV)
Praise Him while remembering “And we
know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the
called according to His purpose.” (Rom Stay Tuned for More!!!! If you liked this CLICK HERE or call Author House @ 888.280.7715 to purchase a soft or hard cover copy of Don Wigton's book "Holy Wars" upon which this blog is based.Click Here to purchase the E-book edition for only 99 cents!
