Army of Angels

If you make the LORD your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

Psalm 91:9-12 New Living Translation

Battle Songs (and More)!

Good tidings!

Sooner or later–of one kind or another–we’ll ALL have spiritual battles to fight (as part of relationships or in life’s situations), and here’s the best way to win. 

It may seem counterintuitive, but praising God in the midst of battles is His huge weapon for us to use–and it’s not heavy.  He will run to our rescue every time He hears us sing (or speak) His praises–this I Know is True.

After the songs, you’ll see the link to a post I found very helpful, personally–it has a list of Bible verses that affirm the Power of Praise when we’re treading waters of Trouble instead of walking on top of them!  We can be conquerors and have the victory in Christ, so let’s Sing Out Loud!

Blessings to all ~ Cale

Here’s a link to an excellent post about fighting our battles with Praises to God.  I highly recommend it:

Cherry Blossoms & Snow

I told them twice

I told them nice

but they ignore

my yearly advice

to wait till Spring

their faces, show!

brave fools, they are

my cherry blossoms…

but lovely, yes, amid March snow ~
