"And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to
seek the Lord ... and cry unto thee (God)..."
The Lord God answered: "Be not afraid nor
dismayed by the reason of this great multitude;
for the battle is not yours, but God's."
2 Chronicles 20:3a,9c,15b
The famous story from 2Chron. 20:1-30 tells us
that God had instructed them on how to plan a
defeat against their enemies. The king Jehoshaphat
encouraged them and said, "Believe in the Lord your
God ..." (v20). They set up singers and "they began
to sing and to praise."
What did the Lord do after they sang and praise?
"The Lord set ambushments against 'enemies' "(v22-24).
"... the Lord made them to rejoice over their enemies"(v27).
Paula Hardy of Canada sent me this copy of her favorite song,
"Victory" last May 17th. This morning at 3 a.m. Holy Spirit
'sang' this 'Victory' song. It reminds me of a famous story
of Jehoshaphat victory over his enemies. So the Holy Spirit
is encouraging us to enter the praise song to silent our
enemies. Thank you, Paula for the 'Victory Song.'
1. Hallelujah, what a thought! Jesus full
salvation brought, Victory,... victory ...
Let the pow’rs of sin assail, Heaven’s grace
can never fail, Victory,... victory ...
Chorus: Victory, yes, victory. Hallelujah!
I am free, Jesus gives me victory. Glory,
glory, hallelujah! He is all in all to me.
2. I am trusting in the Lord, I am standing
on His Word, Victory,... victory ...
I have peace and joy within, Since my life is
free from sin, Victory,... victory ... (Chorus)
3. Shout your freedom ev’rywhere, His eternal
peace declare, Victory,... victory ...
Let us sing it here below, In the face of
ev’ry foe, Victory,... victory ... (Chorus)
4. We will sing it on that shore, When this
fleeting life is o’er, Victory,... victory ...
Sing it here, ye ransomed throng, Start the
everlasting song, Victory,... victory ...(Chorus)
(B. E. Warren)
So let's trust God today!
