The Battle Is the Lord                         

…”praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever” ll Chronicles 20:21

When the children of Judah found themselves outnumbered by the hostile armies of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seri, King Jehoshaphat and ALL the people sought the Lord for His help. The Lord assured the people that this would be His battle. He told them to go out against them, and He would do the fighting for them. So what did the children of Judah do? Being the people of “praise” (Judah actually means Praise), and knowing that God manifests His power through praise, they sent their army against their enemies led by the praises! So, they went ahead of the army declaring, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endureth forever!” And the scripture says, “...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” (2 Chronicles 20:22). I have posted a YouTube song The Battle is the Lord- by Ron Kenoly. I encourage you today to lift up praise and worship songs in the mist of war, and know that the battle is the Lord as we forever worship Him!
