Praise increases our dependency on God!
2 Chronicles 20 (KJV)
11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
Let’s begin today’s lesson by examining the fifth reason praise is good for us; even though, it is a command of God. Please re-read 2nd Chronicles 20: 1-11 and then focus your attention on verse 12. So, we see here, that king Jehoshaphat knew he was in trouble and he was afraid. He realized he was dependent on God. He knew the army was invading and his chances of survival were very thin. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations that we cannot control and this is when our praise is crucial. Knowing that God is sovereign and he is bigger than any problem that we have brings peace into our situation. Knowing that God is our deliver overshadows our despair and alleviates are pity party; which, can lead to depression. In the space provided document a time in which God made you an overcomer. Be sure to notate your situation and include a number of praises.
