Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
(Psalm 8:2 ESV)
The peculiar mark of God’s majesty is not just that he stoops to listen to or take thought of or care for infants, but that he makes them the means of his triumphs. God conquers his foes through the weaknesses of the weak—the speech of babies. When you think of God as a warrior, remember: He wins with weakness.
John Piper, The Peculiar Mark of Majesty, Part 1, delivered April 1, 2007.
“…He wins with weakness.” I love that statement. Which seems so…upside-down. But I guess that’s how God usually loves to work. 😉
