' Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.'
I was reading a book that referenced this verse of scripture, and suddenly I was inspired to think on it beyond child bearing.
Fruits of our youth are also the enterprises, meaning activities, of our youthful years. Our creativities, our constructive engagement, our choices as youths. All of these in our maturing years prove to be for us like arrows are in the hands of a warrior.
They will prove useful enablement, solutions and equipment to face the days to come.
So, no matter how anxious tomorrow may look, if we have been constructively productive in our youth we will very likely have something to reach back in time for, to use and prevail with through time, if we would be courageous.
It makes sense the more now when
in Ecclesiastes 9 verse 10a it was written
' Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might...'
Our products created in our youths will, as opportunity presents give us a pool of resources to draw from and use to effectively participate in the evolving times of civilization, if we still live and are not too timid to show up.
