Worship Your Way to Victory
“Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”
Psalm 100:1-3

Ponder This
In 2 Chronicles 20:18, as Jehoshaphat prepared for battle, the Bible says, “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.” He fell on his face in worship, then he was ready for battle. Nothing will prepare you for battle like worship. The person who can kneel before God can stand before any problem. It will be a great day when we learn that worship comes before either work or warfare. So many times, we just want to get at it without worshiping God.
It reminds me of the little boys who were playing ball. They only had one ball, and they lost it, so they were out in the weeds looking for it. And after a while, one of them said, “Forget the ball. Let’s get on with the game.” I think sometimes that’s what we do as believers. We forget to worship and think we can just go on about our business. Worship reminds us what we are made for; it reminds us of the point of the game.
- Why is it important that worship comes before all we do? Why do we often forget this?
- We all worship something. How are our days and priorities shaped by what we worship?
