Psalm 8:1-2 RSV “O
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth! Thou whose glory
above the heaven is chanted by the
mouth of babes and infants, thou has founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.”
Notice the verse that
the babes and infants would sing or chanted a praise to God. God accepts the
praise of innocent little children. Jesus said, “Let the little children come
unto Me, for such is the Kingdom of God.” God has founded, set up a bulwark, a
protection because we have an enemy and our songs or chant will put enemy “to
be quiet.”
It is faith in a
child that is simple. It is not the big and danger weapons of guns that adults use
to stop the enemy. It is a simple faith like a child keeps us from feeling
superior or feeling better than others. It is a simple faith like a babe can
even still (quiet) the enemy or Satan from taking action against us. Our songs
put our enemies to be still (quiet). So let us sing praises to our Lord!
Song: I Love You, Lord
I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice to
worship You,
Oh, my soul, rejoice! Take joy, my King, in
what You hear;
may it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.
(Lyrics: Laurie Klein, Sing His Praise)
