Out of the Mouths of Babes

I've been thinking a lot about how great kids' songs are. I mean there are so many good things taught to children through the little songs they sing. Like this one:

Jesus loves me, this I know!
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so!


Think about that. Isn't it profound? Jesus loves me. Wow. That's awesome. Or this one:

My God is so great, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do!
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do!
The mountains are his, the rivers are his
The stars are his handiwork too!
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do - for you!


Do you still believe this about God? Sometimes I think we get so stuck being adults that we forget that God is still great and strong and mighty and there's nothing he can't do. I remember thinking when I was little that God was even stronger than my daddy, and that was really strong! Do you still have that little-kid admiration for God? He's pretty great isn't he? Here's one more to think about today.

Twelve men went to spy on Canaan
Ten were bad and two were good
What do you think they saw in Canaan
Ten were bad and two were good
Some saw giants big and strong
Some saw grapes three clusters long
Some saw God was in it all
Ten were bad and two were good!


So which side will you be on? I'm going to try to see God in it all. Want to join me?
