Missions Moment from Jackson Henry
Psalm 8:1-2 says “LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies.”
In my recent Bible readings, I came across these verses and they struck a chord in my heart. As I was praying about what to share, the Lord highlighted that in Matthew 21, as Jesus is clearing the temple courts after Palm Sunday, the children shout “Hosanna.” Jesus responds to the indignant chief priests and teachers of the law by quoting this psalm. In Uganda, it was evident that the Lord was establishing a mighty stronghold through the praise, laughter, smiles, joy, and love of these children! They were simply enthralled by the love of Jesus and couldn’t stop talking about Him. This is such a wonderful reminder that we, too, should strive to have child-like faith and daily cry out to the Lord, saying “hosanna,” Lord save us!
