Psa 8:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : David is amazed that God uses the weakest people to show His strength. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength . Even little children, who seem helpless, are cared for by God. Their lives show God’s power and goodness. God sometimes uses people who seem weak or unimportant to do great things. In the time of Jesus, children praised Him when the religious leaders did not (Matthew 21:16 ). The apostles were seen as uneducated and ordinary, but God used them to spread the gospel and defeat evil (Acts 4:13 ). God’s power is shown best when He uses weak people, so that everyone knows the glory belongs to Him, not to us (1 Corinthians 1:27-28 ). God does this to silence His enemies and show that He is truly in control. As we sing this psalm, we should praise God for His great name and for the amazing things He does, especially through the power of the gospel. God is most glorified when even the weakest people praise Him.

‏ Psalms 8:2

v. 2: David is amazed that God uses the weakest people to show His strength. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength . Even little children, who seem helpless, are cared for by God. Their lives show God’s power and goodness. God sometimes uses people who seem weak or unimportant to do great things. In the time of Jesus, children praised Him when the religious leaders did not (Matthew 21:16 ^a). The apostles were seen as uneducated and ordinary, but God used them to spread the gospel and defeat evil (Acts 4:13 ^b). God’s power is shown best when He uses weak people, so that everyone knows the glory belongs to Him, not to us (1 Corinthians 1:27-28 ^c). God does this to silence His enemies and show that He is truly in control.

As we sing this psalm, we should praise God for His great name and for the amazing things He does, especially through the power of the gospel. God is most glorified when even the weakest people praise Him.
