“From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2 (NIV)

“God is great,  God is good , and we thank him for this food. By his hands we are fed; give us, Lord, our daily bread.”  Childlike faith simply expressed with folded hands looking to the face of God.  I remember those days –how about you?  Gathering around the table we longed for our turn to pray through closed eyes that peeked to make sure no one else was looking.  Sheer sweetness to the very heart of God.  Fully trusting, fully confident and unafraid because God is great and God is good.   Wonder how often we now reflect our trust, our confidence and our courage in our God who is great and good?  Do we simply express our faith in the One who has given us our daily food, nourished our soul and given us all that we need?  Or have we forgotten His greatness?  Have we refrained from accepting His goodness?  Childlike wonder and awe often slips away as adult logic slips in.  We reason with life. We contemplate the yes, no and wait responses to our prayers.  We wring our hands or shake our fists when life yields a daily bread we’d rather not taste.  And at times we even extinguish our prayers as we fail to acknowledge His touch on our lives. But God’s sheer sweetness is still found in the heart of His child who simply expresses their faith with folded hands looking intently to the heart and face of God.

“Father,  remind me daily that You alone fed my soul with the Greatness and Goodness that flows from Your heart.”

For His Glory
