A Weapon in God's Hand

You are a weapon in the Lord’s hand, not the other way around.

You are an arrow in His quiver, safe in Him as He carries you, safe in Him if He shoots you forth. Because He is God He never sends you beyond His reach.

It’s an immature perspective to think of God as YOUR weapon. You don’t keep the Almighty Lord like a concealed weapon, ready to be drawn when you are threatened or afraid. He is the Lord. You are His. You belong to Him. Somehow He also, through Jesus and through Holy Spirit Power; through God’s great love…somehow He is also yours. Jesus did change the water to wine at His mother’s request. But the driving perspective of your life needs to be, “Here am I, send me.”
