Jehoshaphat Praise and Worship

 
"When God's people begin to praise and worship Him using the Biblical methods He gives, the Power of His presence comes among His people in an even greater measure." 
Graham Truscott

Jehoshaphat did not wait until his enemy was destroyed before he began to Praise and Worship God (2 Chronicles 20: 18-30). As soon as God gave the prophetic answer by way of Jahaziel King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah worshiped and praised God for answering them.  They were so sure that God was going to destroy their enemy, that it was as if it had already happened.  In fact, from God’s viewpoint, it had already happened.

There is no need for us to wait and see if God is going to keep his promises.  If He says He will save you, He will save you.  If He says He will provide for you, He will provide for you.  When God speaks, it is done.

So why worry about something God has said is true?  Have faith in the one who is faithful.  Praise Him for His goodness.  Worship Him for His mighty deeds.  Thank Him for answering your prayers, even if you don’t see the answer yet.  Worship Him from the time you speak to Him about a need, when you see Him meeting that need,  and afterwards when you are testifying to God’s faithfulness to others.  Praise and worship the Lord Almighty who faithfully answers our prayers.

  1. Thanks for posting a link to my "O my God" post. May we truly worship God like Jehoshaphat did rather than trivialize Him like our culture does.
