Your arrows

1 Chron. 20-22. [The Message]

My mentor, Moses Vegh, would say, “Dean,your arrows will go farther than you do.” He was adapting his saying from the verse that says ” Children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty man. ” [Ps. 127:4] I personally don’t know any God-fearing father who doesn’t want to see his children and grandchildren do more for God than he does. For me, Godly success far outweighs financial or career success. As long as my children’s needs are being met, I prefer to focus on praying that they would apply their energies to being devoted to the Lord and giving their service to him.

“Only one life, so soon it will pass. Only what’s done for Christ will last so give to Jesus all your days, it’s the only life that pays when you recall you have but one life.”
