The psalmist describes the next generation as arrows: “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate” (Psalm 127:4-5, ESV). In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef looks at what it means for the next generation to be arrows in the hands of a warrior.

[00:00:00] You are listening to my devotional, the Daily Devotional from Dr. Michael Youssef and Leading The Way. Arrows at the Enemy, by Dr. Michael Youssef. The soul must describe the next generation as arrows, like arrows in the hand of a warrior
[00:00:20] are the children of one's youth. Blast is the man who fills his quiver with them. He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies.
[00:00:30] We should pray that our children will become arrows into the heart of the enemy when they face spiritual warfare, witness moral decay around them and see the enemies
[00:00:41] foothold on our society. May they be like arrows in the hand of all mighty God used to penetrate enemy territories and shatter spiritual
[00:00:51] deception. Even if you do not have children, God wants to hear your prayers for the future of his people. He wants you to model for the next generation how to live a life of faith and devotion to him.
[00:01:03] We need to show the next generation that God is not a stranger. He is our Father and our friend, our Comforter, and our Foundation. Let's pray together.
[00:01:15] Father, we pray that our children would become arrows in your hand to penetrate the heart of the enemy. Help us to be role models for the next generation
[00:01:24] that they would see what you have done in our lives and praise you. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
[00:01:32] In a heart for God, lessons from the life of David, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you on a journey through the highs and the lows of David's life. As you experience David's most desperate cries and the songs, you'll witness the power of a life completely surrendered to God.
