HAVE WE GOT ENOUGH ARROWS?
In Psalm 127:4, 5 it speaks of our children being arrows: “As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
Would to God that we who call ourselves Christians would catch the incredible revelation of this Scripture. If we had taken the time to hear from God about filling our quivers (our families, churches, and nations) with the godly seed we would not stand ashamed before our enemies in our gates.
We have many nation-destroying enemies in our gates (places of government). The gates of ancient nations and cities were where the governing body of the city or nation decided their strategies.
Tomorrow is the final day for voting. I pray that all of God’s arrows will shoot forth and cast a strong vote against all the unrighteous enemies in our gates. Because many have either ignorantly or purposely withheld the arrows from filling our quivers, we must cast ourselves upon the great mercies of our God.
I urge all Christians to earnestly pray that righteousness will prevail and tomorrow night we will not be ashamed, but rather we will rejoice in the great mercies of our God.
Lamentations 3:22: “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.”
