This is awesome! Would that we as Christians would have this in us - we all do you know - yet present it in such a humble way that the whole world is taken aback by what it sees and hears.
This small video clip is the almost perfect example of an arrow concealed in the quiver until the proper time. Think of the children (arrows) God has placed in your quiver – each uniquely gifted by God and filled with purpose. They are secretly being polished and honed by God Himself in an institution called family. Proverbs tells us that, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, the glory of kings to search it out.” Proverbs 25:2.
Raise the “arrows” that God has placed in your quiver in such a way that when it comes their time to be placed on center stage and launched from the bow of family and church that they will fly straight and true and plunge into the bull’s eye of God’s purpose.
Watch this video.
Then read: Isaiah 49: 1-6 and remember that you, and I, and our children, were born for a time such as this.
“He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, In the shadow of His hand, He hid me; He made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in His quiver. He said to me, ”You are my servant Israel , in whom I will display my splendor.” Isaiah 49:2-3.
In Christian love,
