The Ways of God

The purpose of the quiver full of arrows…
In Psalm 127 we hear that “arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.” Rich Lusk exaplains: Psalm 127 talks about the quiver full of arrows; the man’s children are his quiver full of arrows. It doesn’t … Continue reading
