Runs with Scissors

• Psalms 127:1-5 ¹ Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. ² In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat for he grants sleep to those he loves. ³ Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. ⁴ Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.  ⁵ Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

• We have to do it Gods way.

• We need to view our children as Gifts not Burdens.
  • ³ Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
• We need to be Invested in their Lives.
  • ⁴ Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. 
• We need to have them ready for the Trials to come.
  • ⁵ Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
