Psalm 8 has been one of my favorite passages for a long time. Every verse grabs my attention as well as my affection. I am going to come to Psalm 8:2 in a second. But think of this with me.
Our Lord’s excellent name (8:1).
Our Lord’s awesome creation which is the work of His fingers (8:3).
Our Lord’s incredible attention to the details of people (8:4).
Our Lord’s magnificent arrangement of the order of angels and work of man (8:5-8).
A reminder of our Lord’s excellent name (8:9).
Now Psalm 8:2. “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that Thou mightiest still the enemy and avenger.” You might be thinking, “What in the world does this mean?”
Simply stated, God can do anything. He can even use a very, very young child to speak truth and bring the enemies to being silenced. Years ago, my wife and I encountered a person who was hostile, angry, mean-spirited, oppositional and just downright hard to deal with. And then it happened. Right before our very eyes it happened!
I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.
For today: Be thrilled with learning more about our Lord Who is awesome in every detail.
