Children: God’s mighty Arrows of war.
Ps.
127:
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is
his reward. 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth. 5Happy is the man that
hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak
with the enemies in the gate.
