TOPIC: WHEN TO PRAISE GOD 1: When Confuse Of God’s Instruction.
Memory Verse: 1 Thess. 5:18.
“18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Bible Reading: 2 Chronic. 20:14-19.
“13 Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the LORD.
14 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.
15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16 Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel.
17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you.”
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.
19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with voices loud and high.”
Normally, Christians Praises God when things are good and moving in line with their plans, but that shouldn’t be the case. When God gives you hard instructions what do you do in return? When God ask you to do the foolish things, how do you react? Brethren, that is when we need to praise God the best. That’s when our praise will be noted and recognized by God.
Behold, there was war before the whole country. The king, the lowly, the High, the youth, children and adult were disturbed about what they were seeing and God said, “Go out and meet with them tomorrow at the valley for battle but you wouldn’t need to fight, you will just hold your peace and see the salvation of the Lord. Note this, God never told them to praise or thank Him at that moment. But that was the moment of God’s Praise. When you are confuse of God’s instructions, give Him the praise. When His instructions looks stupid, Give Him Praise. When He gives a contrary directives give Him the Praise. This is when to praise God, not when you can comprehended His way. Are you in that shoe today? Start giving God praise because He’s never out of point, he always know what He is doing.
Good Morning.
