I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies."
2 Samuel 22:4
Did you know that praise is a weapon--and a powerful one? When we are in times of trouble, facing battles or difficulties, that's the time to praise the Lord. When God hears your praises, it brings Him near to your situation. In this way praise is an SOS!
In the Old Testament, God had Israel send out the praisers first. When Paul and Silas were in prison, they praised the Lord and the prison doors were opened. When we praise God, we're magnifying Who He is, and when you magnify Him, He begins to look bigger than your situation....He IS bigger than your situation, praise just reminds us of that and brings everything back into perspective. What once seemed like mountain has been reduced down to size compared to the magnitude and majesty of the Lord.
When you look at the problem, your enemy, the battle, the size of the mountain, the darkness, start praising the Lord. Praise will cause Him to show up every time. When He does show up... He can fight the battles for you.
