Devotions for Each Morning of the Year
Joyce Meyer
November 22
"The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and each of them He delivers." (Psalm 34:7)
In the Old Testament, people carried banners when they went to the war, sending the singers and praisers into the battle first. When the tribe of Judah sang, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever", the enemy was so confused they were self-slaughtered.
When King Jehoshaphat prepared for battle, he took the position of getting on his face to worship God. If you have battles to face, get in the position of warfare, and just worship the Lord. God's response to our worship is, "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's".
