6/20/10 – Arrows in the Hands of a Warrior

Arrows come in many different styles. Some are made of wood, some made of plastic or carbon steel. Some are shorter and some are longer depending on one’s draw length. Different tips are placed on them depending on the game one is hunting for. They can be very different, but yet all have a distinct purpose to them. They are intended for flight and a target. They were never intended to stay in the quiver or be hung on a wall to look at.

Our children are like arrows in that they, too, were created with a purpose. They were never intended to stay within the walls of our homes forever. From little on, they are being shaped and molded for that day when they will be shot out into the world to fulfill God’s plan and target for their lives. Our children were designed by the Creator to make an impact upon the world. As a parent, or warrior, we are responsible to one day release those precious arrows placed into our care. Launching our children for flight is progressive in nature and begins on the day they were born. Throughout those first 18 years, there are thousands of practiced releases and each of them is preparation for that final release. May we have a clear target in mind as we approach that day and time. May we guide our children in a way in which they naturally fly towards Godly principles and values. May they know what it means to be a Godly mate. May it be our goal and desire to aim them and shoot them in the right path. May we make every arrow count.

6/13/10 – Hope Looks Up

Psalm 121 is one of 15 Psalms referred to as the Pilgrim psalms or songs of ascent. The Israelites would often sing and quote these songs or psalms while making their yearly pilgrimages to worship in the temple in Jerusalem. For many, this was a long at treacherous trip. There were many dangers along this journey and many bad things could occur. This psalm was written and recited to remind God’s people as to how He would protect them in their time of need. They knew their hope for safety and security did not rest in their human strength, but rather, in the protection and person of God. He was watching over them, keeping them safe and secure.

So how does this psalm speak to us today? The dangers before you and I  may not be the same as the ones the Israelites faced, but our unchanging God still protects us yet today as He did for them thousands of years ago. He is our protector and shield. He is at our right hand keeping us safe from harm. He is watching over us both now and forever more. Surely He can take care of us through every challenge and trial. True hope believes and knows that God is aware of us and is actively guarding over us.

5/30/10 – Build a Memorial

Because of those who gave their lives, we have the right to live in peace and the privilege to pursue prosperity and happiness. Because of others’ sacrifice, we have the right to worship and serve God freely. May we be thankful for those who died to make us free. It is also appropriate and fitting to remember both God and His son Jesus, who have given us the greatest freedom of all – freedom from sin and death. God’s one and only son gave His life so that we might have liberty. He set us free from spiritual tyranny. May everyday be a memorial day in relation to the great and marvelous things the Lord has done and is doing for you and me.
