II Chronicles 20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

Judah was being threatened by overwhelming odds from multiple enemies. King Jehoshaphat prayed in the temple, the place where God had placed His Name, and recounted the Lord's past glorious acts. He reminded the Lord of His promise of future protection to those who called upon His name. I'm sure it looked rather odd for a group of singers and musicians to be leading an army into battle, but their singing and praising brought results. Points to consider:               

  • We all are surounded by various enemies that we cannot fight in our natural strength (Ephesians 6:12 ; I Peter 5:8).
  • We can approach God boldly in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
  • Jesus is the temple of God ( John 2:19 ; 2 Corinthians 5:19).
  • If we ask in His name, we can expect results (John 14:13, 15:16, 16:23-24).
  • We can wil any battle through praise of our Lord and Savior (Psalms 106.47).

Humor
 
A women goes out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another women on the opposite bank.

"Yoohoo" she shouts, "how can I get to the other side?"

The second women looks up the river then down the river then shouts back,

"You are already on the other side."

Keep Looking Up!
