The text before us was Jesus’ defence of the people who rapturously welcomed Him as
He made His entry to Jerusalem. They celebrated Him, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of
David!”. The chief priests and scribes objected to this, but Jesus defended them. The
interesting thing here is that Jesus quoted from Psalm 8:2. For emphasis we reproduce
it here: “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.”

“When you praise God over any situation, He takes over.”

Jehoshaphat had the daunting task of facing three nations that aligned against Judah.
In 2 Chronicles 20:12, he admitted that‬ Judah had no power against the multitude
coming at them nor did they know what to do. Then in verse 21, the king after
consultations decided to just praise the Lord for His enduring mercy. Opting to praise
God became the game changer. God deployed His strength on their behalf. They did
not have to shoot an arrow but enjoyed the victory. When you praise God over any
situation, He takes over.
