power in praise
Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever. [2 Chronicles 20:15-22]
Willie Myrick was kidnapped from his driveway when he was 9 years old.
For hours, he traveled in a car with his kidnapper, not knowing what would happen to him. During that time, Willie decided to sing a song called "Every Praise." As he repeatedly sang the words, his abductor spewed profanity and told him to shut up. Finally, the man stopped the car and let Willie out — unharmed.
As Willie demonstrated, truly praising the Lord requires us to concentrate on God's character while forsaking what we fear, what is wrong in our lives, and the self-sufficiency in our hearts.
The Israelites reached this place of surrender when they faced attackers. AS the prepared for battle, King Jesoshaphat organized a choir to march out in advance of the enemy's army. The choir sang, "Praise the Lord mercy endures forever" (2 Chron. 20:21 NKJV). When the music started, Israel's enemies became confused and destroyed each other. AS the prophet Jahaziel had predicted, Israel didn't need to fight at all (v.17).
Whether we're facing a battle or feeling trapped, we can glorify God in our hearts. Truly, "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. (PS. 96:4)
Dear God, You are holy and good. I worship You today despite the problems that cloud my vision of You. Let my soul tell of Your glory forever.
Worship is a heart overflowing with praise to God.
