(vs 4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man so are children of the youth. Your children are beginning to fight more battles as they become young men and women. Now is the time to make application as your children are becoming young men and women and can process decisions. While most parents are backing away, they should be getting closer. Time is the lost ingredient in the teenage years. Sometimes kids go astray when we send them astray. As kids get older, the more distance is placed by the parents. Children are treated today as a disruption to life. Children suffer these days from parental neglect. (vs 3) Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. There is rest in the storm when God is in it. Worry, early rising, night owl, intense labor and what for? To achieve a state of rest that only comes from God. (vs 2) It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. The problem with many Christians these days is that they don’t know why. You must build with the right material – For other foundation can no man lay – 1 Corinthians 3:10-11 without me ye can do nothing – John 15:5 the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge – Prov 1:7 at the Family altar you impart the words of God and pray – chastening, the rod shapes the will and teaches consequences – Instruction is positive and negative – you explain why some things are right, why some things are wrong. (vs 1) Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. So it is with the preparation of children by their parents. Until that moment though, there is much preparation that goes into the making of an arrow so that when it is let go it will hit its mark. Arrows achieve their purpose when they are let go. Everything done to an arrow is done so that it will fly right when it is let go.
