Your Majestic Name: Strength Through the Weak
The majesty of God’s name fills the earth and sky, yet His greatest defense is the simple praise of the weak.
Psalms 8:1–2 (BSB)
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 mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

How does Psalms 8:1–2 point to Christ?
Jesus Christ is the LORD our Lord whose majesty was most clearly seen when He became a helpless infant; He silenced the Accuser of our souls by establishing the strength of His kingdom through the apparent weakness of the cross.
