*A thought*:
Jehoshaphat's strategy of putting his singers at the forefront of his army as they went into battle is full of deep spiritual suggestiveness. Some battles are best approached in the spirit of praise, rather than in the spirit of prayer. This does not mean that prayer is unimportant. It simply means that when prayer does not seem to bring victory - then try praise.
*Week #24 Memory Verse*:
Hebrews 12:2
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"
