Psalm 127:4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. As I have been holding Kaydon in my arms this verse has become real for me.
Children are like arrows in many ways:
They are shaped and crafted with excellence for a specific purpose. You have to be skilled and precise when creating an arrow. A wrong mistake and it's not going anywhere. They are made with one express purpose-to shoot at the enemy.
They are valuable. It would take alot of time and attention to detail to make arrows and they were hard to come by in the ancient world. An arrow was a very precious thing and something you would not want to waste. The archers were often times the deciding factor in victory or defeat.
Knowing this children should be treated like arrows:
Aimed at a specific target-The glory of God
Backed up by sufficient power-The Holy Spirit and the power of prayer
Released at the right time-You have to know when to let go
To be continued......
