Help children shine for Christ


Out of the Mouth of Babes

Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength. — Psalm 8:2


Psalm 8 begins with a startling contrast. David seems to suggest that while God has revealed His glory in the skies, another persuasive answer to His critics comes in the utterances of a child: “Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger” (v.2).



Why is a child’s praise so persuasive? For one thing, it’s because, unlike the impersonal universe, a child can know and love God.



Jesus quoted Psalm 8:2 when religious leaders were scandalized that children were running around in the temple shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (Matt. 21:15-16). These little ones knew — as those leaders did not know — that Jesus was the long-awaited Son of God.



Some of my most memorable moments as a parent came when I knelt beside our children’s beds at night, and they opened their hearts to God. The simplicity of their love and trust as they prayed touched me deeply, dispelled my doubts and fears, and drew me to faith.







We must never take lightly little ones who believe in Christ (Matt. 18:6,10). Their witness is great, as is the witness in the skies. — David H. Roper



Could it be that the trusting child —
Who with childlike faith stands strong —
Can teach us more than sun and stars
About to whom our hearts belong? — Branon



Children are God’s precious jewels — help them shine for Christ.
