The Lord makes me
a sharpened blade
an arrowhead
a mighty tool for His purpose
He gives me aim
direction
clarity
He draws back His bow
releasing me
into the world
to perform His work
slicing through hatred
with the blade of love
piercing the darkness
with the arrow of compassion
healing the wounded
with grace and mercy
in His name
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where is God aiming you in this season of your life, and how might you allow Him to sharpen your gifts for His work?
Scripture:
“He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.” — Isaiah 49:2
