Somebody posted this YouTube video today of Israeli soldiers dancing and singing, "We have no one to rely upon except our Heavenly Father." (Or so the caption reads. I trust it.)
I've grown up imagining what it was like to be there when they shouted the walls of Jericho down, or blew trumpets before battle with Gideon, or sang before battle with Jehoshaphat. Here's LEGIT Israeli praise & worship before going into battle. Wow.
They do it to fight with bombs & guns (poor things.)
Let us never forget that our job in leading praise and worship in the congregation is JUST AS SERIOUS.
It is our responsibility to lift the abilities of our God up high so that HE can be remembered. When we do our job properly, people battling addictions, spiritual wickedness, discouragement, illness, and more, will see, hear, and remember that their God is ABLE to see them through.
WE HAVE NO ONE TO RELY UPON EXCEPT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
...and might I add, we do not need anyone or anything else to rely upon. He does all things well!
My heart hurts for every death caused by earthly wars. But I'm thankful to have this reminder of my spiritual job. You're job & mine is to raise our hands, or link our arms, or dance, or run, and LIFT OUR VOICE.
Walls will crumble when we shout unto God with a voice of triumph!
I love leading praise and worship with you all! You are such determined, exuberant people. We are truly blessed at Souls Harbor!
