Psalm 124:6-8 ‘Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth”.

DAILY READING; Revelation 16; Esther 9-10; Psalm 107:23-43

The American Revolution was a time when small fledgling American colonies gained their freedom from the rule of Great Britain and became the independent country of the United States. After the American declaration of Independence, they were resisted by the British and so faced a major battle which was known as the battle of long island. The battle took place in the southwest portion of Long Island, New York. This area is called Brooklyn today. Initially the Americans had forced the British out of Boston on March 1776. And George Washington, the leader of the American side , had stationed his men to defend the city against a counter attack. Sure enough, a large British fleet arrived off the coast of New York and began attacking in the early morning hours of August 27. Soon the larger British forces surrounded the Americans. The British believed that the Americans were totally trapped and had no way to escape. However, Washington a devout Christian turned to God in prayers, asking for divine help. And the following night, he made a desperate attempt to evacuate his trapped army. He had just that night to get 9,000 men to safety without alerting the surrounding British army. Miraculously, through divine help, the British remained unaware and oblivious of the happenings as Washington and his men made their final escape. And when the British woke up the next morning, it was to discover that the American Army had totally escaped from their ambush.

In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat was surrounded by mightier armies. And it looked like there was no way of escape. In 2 Chronicles 20:12, he prayed ‘We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you’.
And in 2 Chronicles 20:17, God responded ‘Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.’

And how did they set themselves for battle? Through praises!
king Jehoshaphat took the rear and allowed God to go ahead. And God took their place in battle and won the victory for them.
Praise compels Him to take over the battles of your life. He takes your place in battle, fights on your behalf, and gives you the victory.
Indeed God knows how to make a way of escape for us out of every tight situation, when we give Him the praise. (Psalm 124:6-8)
There is no mountain that God cannot level, no sea that He cannot dry up, and no “Jordan” that cannot be driven back, to enable you escape from every trap or hindrance to your destiny. Therefore, any time you feel obstructed, surrounded or overwhelmed, instead of panicking, switch to praise. As you give God worthy praise, you will surely find that in your praise is your victory!

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to always praise You in every situation. And as I praise You, I know You will cause me to escape every satanic trap and turn every mourning into dancing for me in Jesus Name.
