Praise from children

Matt. 21

Jesus quoted the Psalmist when He stated, “‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”

Clearly, He referred to the praise and acclamation coming from children in the temple as a fulfillment of the prophecy. He commended it. He still wants praise from His children … children of all ages. Many translations call it “Perfect praise.” Children have pure hearts. Their excitement and enthusiasm is from hearts uncluttered by the baggage of life. This is praise that God wants and deserves.

May we all revert to this simple heart of affection and devotion to Christ when we praise Him. Do it all the time!
