“God has trained children to offer perfect praise” (Matthew 21:16, Good News Bible).
No doubt we’d all agree that our praise to God is far from perfect. Worship is something we must continually
work at. In this life we’re always “in process.” Yet in the verse quoted above, Jesus said, “God has trained children to offer perfect praise.” If we would perfect our praises, we must make them more childlike. We can do that by cultivating childlike faith. Children trust the Lord with no ifs, ands, or buts. In their minds, nothing is
impossible for him. We believe that too—intellectually—but our hearts easily get hung up on doubts. Today let’s choose to worship God with childlike faith. Let’s give him our undivided attention, our unspoiled faith, and our unrivaled love—just like children would do. That will put us on the road to “perfect praise.”
