“Blessing of a Full Quiver”

Blessings Folk!

Read the following - Psalm 127.

Most of us will be familiar with many of the phrases.
We may not realize that they are found together in context.

Ps 127
1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 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.

KJV

Several questions come to mind.

What are you building?

• Stuff?
• Power?
• Prestige?

Upon what are you building?

In Whom do you trust?

Do you sleep well? If not, why?

Are you giving life to vain things?

What do you consider to be your reward?
What heritage will you leave behind?

Are you happy?

To what do you give time, energy, life?

Let us seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness...
