January 20: Genesis 49-50; Psalm 8; Luke 20

Children

Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 8:1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Observation: How easy it is to understand why the Lord’s enemy would want to destroy children.
1. They offer the most pure praise, not yet tainted by sin.
2. Children are made in the image of God.
3. Jesus came into this world as a child.
4. Every hero, every great leader, every doctor, etc. came into the world as a child.
5. We all come to Him as children.
Let’s offer pure praise!

Application: What is important to God is important to me. Children are so important to God that he considers what I do to children as though I did it to Him!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to love children as you do. Amen.
