Sweet Children

Psalm 127

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one's youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!


 Sometimes, I just need the reminder of Psalm 127. As I sit here thinking about how I've lost my patience with them several times in the last 24 hours... it seems especially good to let this scripture sink in to my heart. Perhaps I should rephrase: Knowing my own heart (always prone to sin and deceit- Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick"), I always need to remember Psalm 127.
