"O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger."
After reading these verses my thoughts were flooded with the following:
1. God has ordained praise through his children because of his enemies and there enemies. His purpose was to defeat the enemy through their praise and to establish a place of shelter and safety the enemy cannot enter into. Praise creates that place.
2. Praise upon our lips silences the foe and the avenger by moving us into a place the enemy is not aloud into. God will not share his courts with an enemy. Satan has no place in God's Kingdom, he has been cast out. God's Kingdom is where ever God's presence manifest.
3. We enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise, where God inhabits the praises of his people. Our praise is to be both spoken and sang. When this happens God fills that house of praise and the enemy is defeated.
So what are you waiting for, "Put your praise on!" The enemy has been defeated! God will fight for you through your praise. You will win.
Be Blessed
Pastor Danny J. Lorentzen
