Teaching children to worship helps them develop a relationship with God. But it also prepares them to live a life of victory in the spiritual realm.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise because of Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger (Ps. 8:1-2, NIV).

"FROM THE LIPS OF CHILDREN AND INFANTS" Jesus is very comfortable with children. In the book of Mark, we read of a day when Jesus was completely happy to have a bunch of wiggly kids in His lap, kissing Him and telling Him secrets. Mark 10:16 tells us that "He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them." It was the adults around Jesus who were bothered by their noisy, unashamed, nonreligious enthusiasm.
