Years later, praise won a dramatic victory through Jehoshaphat. God's faithful king trusted, obeyed, and acknowledged his utter weakness . Power and might are in Thy hand so that no one can stand against Thee. God responded with immediate assurance of victory. The next day, a team of worshipers led Jehoshaphat's army to the battlefield.
Praise produces purity .
When I praise God, His presence and character become increasingly real. Just as praise purifies, so also complaint defiles. The Israelites in the wilderness complained to Moses about their treatment under God's protection. Their grumbling expressed lack of trust, ignorance of God's character, and an attitude of rebellion. Like yeast, this kind of unbelief spreads to all it touches.
