Praises

I was on my fourth kid's praise song, really laughing and spinning and swinging more than I was singing, when I heard the small one-year-old's voice joining in, lisping the words:

"Hallelujah...hallelujah...hallelujah..."

Praises from the lips of infants...

Children blessed by Jesus...

Our God who is very worthy of all praise...

All this flashed through my mind, and I paused mid-swing with the child in my arms, in awe of the very real truth that "Salvation and glory and power belong to our God..." (Rev. 19).

Hallelujah!
