Worship Under Pressure

Women in Worship

II Chron. 20:1-30 tells the situation of a King named Jehoshaphat who was so alarmed about what was coming up against him, that he sought the Lord for guidance. The word of the Lord came to him by way of a Levite named Jahaziel telling him of the victory to come. The King’s response to what the man of God told him was to “worship God”. Verse 18 states that King Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground. The King then appointed singers to walk ahead of the trouble, singing to the LORD and praising him for his holy splendor: “Hallelujah Glory to God, His love endures forever, So good is our God”. Needless to say how this story ends, God saw them through and God got the victory.

Here’s your encouragement - We are just like Jahaziel, we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. His own instruments to do His work and speak out for him to tell others of the night and day difference he made for you. From nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. (I Peter 2:9 & 10 the Message Bible)

The trails have another purpose, to get our minds off of that which we really are to focus on, Jesus the center of our joy. Remember that He is our provider, our help in a time of trouble, or rock and our fortress. This distraction is staged to take us away from His presence, where we have always found joy. We cannot let anything or anyone take us away from the one who can take care of everything. The trial is there to see where our loyalties are...who do we really worship!

In our personal worship life we must catch this truth, the people that we lead in worship go through the same exact “stuff” as we do. As leaders we show by example that we have the victory, worshiping the Lord with our very lives on the front lines, blessing the Lord at all times no matter what happens.

Worship Him!
Deu.6:5
