Bebe's interpretation
The image of children as “arrows in the hand of a mighty man” speaks to the great potential and blessing that children bring to a family. In the ancient world, children were often seen as a form of legacy and strength, much like arrows in the hands of a warrior, ready to be used for protection and advancement. For families, this verse speaks of the honor and responsibility of raising children with care, guiding them to fulfill their potential in God’s kingdom. Children are not just a gift; they are a blessing, a heritage to be nurtured and prepared for a life of purpose. This verse reminds us that the family is a central unit in God’s plan, and children are a precious part of that plan. They carry the potential to impact the world and continue the legacy of faith. Families are called to see their children as arrows, equipped to fulfill God's purposes.
