From the Mouth of Babes

  I am a mother now. I have a beautiful, precious, and joyous growing girl. She has brought about sooooo many changes in my life. One of my favorites is the ability to understand and relate to the Lord in a whole new way. I see Him in a way I never could have understood before I became a mother. I see and experience new truths because of Evelyn. 

  I want to share with you one of the traits I have already seen exhibited in my sweet baby girl. She IS a Prayer Warrior. She talks to God and already has been for quite some time.    

  I know, you might be thinking....Stef, there is no way to know that for sure. She is just babbling. She doesn't form actual words yet. However....

  I have had a few specific times with Evelyn that I have already seen her talking to the Lord. In both instances she was pretty silent until someone started praying. As soon as the prayers began, she became animated and began talking up a storm. You'll just have to take my word for it, but if you had been in the room at that moment you would have seen the change in Evie and wondered if she might possibly be talking to the Lord along with the adult praying. Is that even possible??

Well, it says in Psalm 8:2 that “from the mouths of children and babies come songs of praise to you. They sing of your power to silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.” I think we, myself included, can so easily discount what babies are saying. We can't understand them. The words sound like babble. They are learning to talk, but surely they aren't actually holding conversations or praying? That's crazy talk!

However, the Word of God literally says "from the mouths of children and babies come songs of praise to you. They sing of your power to silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.”

Let us not discount the words of those sweet littles. There is so much power in our words, babies included. Let us believe the words of 1 Timothy 4:12 that declare "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." Let us believe this right down to those tiny babes, because, out of the mouth of babes comes strength!!!!!
