2. Not only in the heavens above is
the Lord seen, but here below, the lisping utterances of babes are the
manifestations of his strength in little ones. Many men have been made to hold
their tongues, while sucklings have borne witness to the glory of the God of
heaven. Did not the children cry “Hosanna!” in the temple, when proud Pharisees were silent and
contemptuous? And did not the Saviour quote these very words as a justification
of these infant cries? Early church history records many amazing instances of
the testimony of children for the truth of God. He who delights in the songs of
angels is pleased to honor himself in the eyes of his enemies by the praises of
little children. What a contrast between the glory above the heavens, and the
mouths of babes and sucklings! Yet by both the name of God is made excellent.
