"Through The Praise of Children"

"[You] have set Your glory above the heavens!  Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength...."  (Psalm 8)

The NIV translates verse 2 as, "Through the praise of children and infants You have established a stronghold against Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger."  So much for "seasoned intercessors"!

The Godhead, "Who have set Your glory above the heavens..," is He of Whom the creed says, "Who for us men and for our salvation came down."  From the outer reaches of the Universe to, "nursing infants," this is the "journey" of the Living Triune God revealed in Jesus Christ.  Beware any attempt at profundity!

Father, in Jesus' Name, may I learn from, "babes and nursing infants."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
