The praise of children is powerful. Psalm 8:2 reveals that even from the mouths of infants, God calls forth praise. This idea challenges our view of children as merely innocent beings who are to be molded and shaped; rather, it reveals that they have a unique role in the worship of God. Children, in their innocence and purity, offer a pure and untainted form of praise. This verse reminds us that God delights in the worship that comes from the lips of children, and their praise is a testimony to His greatness. As adults, we are often quick to teach children how to praise, but this verse teaches us to also recognize the beauty of their unlearned, sincere expressions of worship. Children teach us to come before God with humble hearts, trusting in His goodness without pretense. In a world that often overlooks the voices of the young, Scripture affirms their worth and the importance of their praise in the kingdom of God.
Psalm 71:5
For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Psalm 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Luke 18:16
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
