  “ O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger .” Psalm 8 : 1 - 2 KJV In the human economy, success is measured by the metrics of political sagacity, financial capability, and physical machismo; but those who care to learn from history can attest to the unfortunate limitations of this type of success. For example, success on the basis of human strength led Pharaoh in a collision course with the God of Israel and he ended up consumed in the Red Sea with the host of his chariot-dependent strength. Whereas, by the inspiration of God, king David was made to see the divine perspective of success as simply made of a suckling’s strength. In divine economy, the suckling’s strength becomes the sovereign’s strength with believers’ knowledge of the excellency of the King of kings and the L...

  “O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬, ‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ It is no news that the excelling works of man makes room for the celebration of his name on earth. There only comes news when the works of man begins to block the knowledge of God in the heart. When the works of other men overwhelm the confidence of any man in the promises of God, he can no longer serve the Lord acceptably and obey His words attentively without the fear of man. But when the Psalmist came out of similar fear of man, he exclaimed “ O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth“ . It is always a relieving confidence and strength for anyone to acknowledge the victory in knowing the excellency in God’s name, beyond the excelling works of the greatest man on earth. And those who are blessed with this knowledge of God will do excellent exploits, far more t...

  “Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Thieves do not just invade a property without an insider report of the target valuables. And without proper surveillance and adequate security system, just a single invasion can forfeit all of man’s physical and material possessions. The scriptures say that spiritual invasion is always aimed at something greater than human-replaceable properties: the soul of man. Although all of man’s earthly pursuits may come in the way of the target invasion by the enemy of our souls, the enemy and the avenger of the soul of man is always concerned about the glory of God. The moment the soul is redeemed from the captivity of sin, he receives grace to begin to pursue the glory of God in all of life’s engagements. Unfortunately, the moment the soul gets invaded by the enemies (earthly glories, pride, and accomplishments), the ...

Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:2 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.8.2.NKJV   Just like the furnace of fire is appreciated by pure gold, babes and nursing infants hardly allow offences to rob the fun off the circles of their annoying friends. Without prejudice to the veracity of wickedness from external forces against progress and development in life, man's number one enemy is his heart. The scripture says the heart is deceitful and its wickedness is painfully unknown even to self. Therefore, keeping the baggage of offences and ill-feeling, especially against someone who even doesn't realize the forbidden line has been crossed, as often robbed the heart from good health and free life. And woe betide the heart of man when the accused offender is its Creator. Whereas, the psalmist provided the secret of pure praise as the possession of the mouth o...

http://bible.us/psa8.1.nkjv O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth,Who have set Your glory above the heavens! There are numerous manifests of wonder work in building technology, transportation system, space activities, and the development of innovative system. As the scripture says, the earth surely is filled with knowledge...as the water covers the sea. Consequently, many are comfortable with this declaration, as long as the ownership of the human intellectual property is reserved. However, the Psalmist declaration underscores the missing link, which is the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Whenever the declaration of the glory of the Lord become missing in any of human activities, a delusion of excellent creation is conceived.
