“There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his mercy;”
Psalm 33:16-18 KJV
This poetic praise of David, brings out the power and strength of praise and worship. “Even if a king had the best-equipped army, it would never be enough to save him. Even if the best warrior went to battle, he could not be saved simply by his strength alone. Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint. The eyes of the Lord are upon even the weakest worshipers who love Him— those who wait in hope and expectation for the strong, steady love of God.” Scripture has so many testimonies of people and armies, weak against their adversaries, but trusting in God, praising and worshipping Him, and coming out victorious! Even prison walls and locked doors couldn’t keep Paul and Silas in bonds through the power of praising and worshipping our great and almighty God. The early Church knew this power and were able to impact the nations for Christ, inspite of persecutions. Every day they went to the temple, to praise and worship God. May we walk in this power daily. Amen!
