BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD--THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD 4f) 11) "ON FIRE" ARROWS

11) "ON FIRE" ARROWS.

Psalm 120:4 says, "Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper." Evidently they attached hot coals from the juniper wood to these arrows. They were very damaging because of their ability to set the ancient cities on fire. These arrows could be shot right over the city walls to land on the roofs of the dwellings. In this chapter, God uses these hot "on fire" arrows against the lying, false, deceitful tongues (Psalm 120:2-3).

Psalm 127 mentions that children of the youth are as arrows in the hand of a mighty man and that our quivers need to be full of them. We Christian men, along with our wives, need to understand that our individual families are our quivers. Whatever it takes to make our arrows "on fire" with the Holy Spirit of God, we must pay the price for this to happen.

We parents are also arrows and we need to be "on fire" The devil sends forth fiery arrows against us. His arrows are made hot from hell itself. How much more on fire from Heaven should God's arrows be.

We are living in a world of deceitful, lying, false tongues and they are growing bigger every day. It is high time for us men to reach into the burning foundry of the Holy Spirit and get ourselves and our children on fire so that all the lying tongues of our politicians will be burned into ashes.

Be encouraged.
