When Jesus rode into the city on what we call Palm Sunday today, the Pharisees rebuked him and told Him to tell His followers to basically shut up and stop worshiping Him…

He then stood and quoted this scripture to them…..

“And they said to Him, Do You hear what these are saying? And Jesus replied to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have made (provided) perfect praise?'”“ Matthew 21:16 AMP.

Now Jesus was quoting a scripture from the book of Psalms here…

“Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2 AMP,

You see, to Jesus, the words Strength and Praise were synonymous….

Oh somebody that feels weak today ought to start to praise him in the midst of their battle!

If you are in the midst of a battle it is not time to just lay down and quit.Don’t wait till the battle is over Shout now!

Arise! Shine!
