Singing Confuses the Enemy When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army. (2 Chronicles 20:21) Cliff Barrows, worship leader for the Billy Graham Crusades, tells how his father, an avid Gideon, traveled to Rangoon years ago. The area was under oppression and Gideon Bibles had been removed from hotels. While there, he met with local Gideons who were trying to restore the Bibles. During the meeting, Barrows had difficulty following the discussion because two men were singing hymns just a few yards away. Finally he asked, Why are those men singing while were trying to have this meeting? The local Gideon replied, Because this room is bugged, and the singing confuses the enemy who is trying to listen to us. Theres a spiritual lesson in that, says Cliff. When we sing, it confuses the enemy and allows the Lords work to proceed.1 When were discouraged, attacked, or faced with unanswered prayers, singing a song of triumph brings us back into focus, allowing us to express our thanks to God for who He is. (A David Jeremiah Email Devotional) “The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
