From the lips of infants and children you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:2
Do you ever feel as if the enemy, the Devil himself, has a plot against you? Do you ever think that He is on your tale, bombarding you with conflict after conflict, illness after illness, affliction after affliction?
Well, your intuition is spot on. He does have a plot against you. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says the thief comes only to kill you, steal from you and destroy you. (John 10:10)
But we have Good News. Very, very Good News. We are fully equipped to fight.
And not just fight, but win.
We have the power, through the name of Jesus, to silence our foe.
When we praise our God, the Bible says our enemy has to flee.
Don't miss this: The ESV version of the Bible says that He has ordained praise to still the enemy and the avenger. - Psalm 8:2
In its original Hebrew text, to "still" the enemy means to cause to fail; to suffer; to be lacking.
Oh, how I love this Truth. The enemy’s plot against me FAILS when I praise Jesus. Satan suffers and recognizes his lack when we worship our God.

"Abort mission. Nothin' to see here fellas." His plan fails against the name of Jesus.
Goodness gracious, I need to know this.
Goodness gracious, I need to know this.
This side of heaven, we will never fully know how powerful and just what all happens when we speak the name of Jesus.
What a privilege to even say it out loud. Jesus. There is just something about that name.
Will you take a few minutes to worship with me? This song, Your Great Name, by Natalie Grant, describes so many wonderful truths about the name of Jesus. Let us enter into His presence in praise while the enemy recognizes his lack and flees.

You nailed it with this one. Thank goodness for naptime because I am in no shape for my daughter to see me like this- happy tears but just so much feeling. Thank you Jesus for carrying such a heavy yoke. I surely cant.
