Our Quiver is full and we are truly blessed! This weekend my daughter, Mikayla and I joined Grandma and Grandpa Dean as they journeyed down to Ladysmith for my nephew Ryan's birthday party.
Ryan had some of his friends at the party of course, but what I noticed was the power of family. There are now 8 grandchildren for John and Marnie with Ryan, at age 5, being the youngest. Of those 8 kids, Mikayla, Samantha, Sierra, and Jacob were there to celebrate with Ryan.
Add to that two grandmothers, a grandfather, two aunts, an uncle, a mom and a dad and you can see that the place gets FULL pretty quickly! The bible tells us that this is a blessing.... it a quiver FULL of arrows ready to take out the enemy!
The older kids and some of the adults took this imagery a step further. While the young kids were inside playing an exciting game of "Pin the Hat on the Martian," we were outside with the Bow and Arrows taking aim at a make-shift balloon target. Those balloons didn't stand a chance when they came up against the Deans!!
I'm declaring this to be a prophetic act. As the mighty Dean's hit our targets (those menacing balloons!), so too will we hit our targets in prayer!! Our enemies will be put to shame and they will be swept right out the gate!! The Message Bible puts it this way; "Your enemies don't stand a chance against you; you'll sweep them right off your doorstep!"
It's our mighty inheritance to receive!!
Lo, children are a heritage of God; And the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. (Psa 127:3-5 ASV)
