Praise the Lord from the earth…kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men and children!
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
How incredible it is that in the same breath, God charges both kings and children to praise God. God values their praises just as much as any king or judge or ruler. It is just as important for any child to praise God as it is for any person in authority. God listens to children just the same and he sees them as just as capable to praise God as their parent or any other adult.
Adults can tend to dismiss, overlook, or underestimate their little hearts but they have their own soul and through Christ can have their own personal relationship with God!
What a wonderful God we serve - so understanding, so tender, so compassionate, and so loving of each and every person. Praise God for his word which gives us insight and instruction and guides us in truth.
