From The Mouths Of Infants And Babes, by Jared Kennedy

A few days ago, we read Psalm 8 as part of our Old Testament reading. Verse 2 says:

From the lips of children and infants
You have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

In the 1860s, Charles Spurgeon wrote:

“How often will children tell us of a God whom we have forgotten! How does their simple prattle refute those learned fools who deny the existence of God! Many men have been made to hold their tongues while sucklings have borne witness to the glory of the God of heaven. It is singular how clearly the history of the church expounds this verse. Did not the children cry “Hosannah!” in the temple when proud Pharisees were silent and contemptuous? And did not the Savior quote these very words as a justification of their infantile cries? He who delights in the songs of angels is pleased to honor himself in the eyes of his enemies by the praises of little children. What a contrast between the glory above the heavens, and the mouths of babes and sucklings! Yet by both the name of God is made excellent!”

How have your kids reminded you of God’s greatness this week?
