Ezekiel 39: 9 “‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel."
I love this image. It is almost like turning swords into plowshares. The weapons of mass destruction become the people's fuel. They warm their homes and cook on the remains of the attack.
How comforting this would be to a people who had been enslaved and denied their most basic needs. Now they don't have to worry about collecting wood! They know they will be warm and fed. God provides what his people need.
Prayer: O, Lord, provide for my needs like you did for your people in times gone by. I, too, am going through a time when my most basic needs are called into question by my injury. Help me to get through the mundane, day-to-day tasks which have now become so difficult. Guide me to the best ways to do all I need to do.
Amen
