2 Chronicles 20:22, 25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one really looks forward to a battle. We would rather float through life on a cloud unencumbered by the struggles of life. Unfortunately, that is not the way it works. Sometimes you have to fight. But we fight to win! When we use the weapons that God has given us we will be victorious in the battle. Praising God in the middle of a fight turns our attention to Him. We get our eyes off of the circumstances and begin to rehearse how good, strong and loving our God is. He never fails. God is faithful! He rewards those who stand in faith on His Word. To the victor belongs the spoils! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
