There is a message for parents in this turn of events. On
Sunday, Jesus was celebrated as a King. On Friday, he was murdered as a
criminal. Things change--sometimes more rapidly than you can believe possible.
Your children may appear worthy of sainthood one day and worthy of something
quite the opposite just moments later. Through all of this, God has not
changed. His purposes and plans have not changed. This was true 2,000 years ago
in Jerusalem and it is true today where you live. Circumstances and behaviors
can change in the blink of an eye, but God remains trustworthy and sure.
Remember, God is faithful. Rapid changes do not catch Him by surprise. He
planned them for the good of his people. He planned them for your good.
1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the
earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the
heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your
hands;
you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the
earth! Psalm 8 NIV
