Isaiah 41:14-16
14 Fear not, you worm Jacob,
you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh the mountains and crush them,
and you shall make the hills like chaff;
16 you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away,
and the tempest shall scatter them.
And you shall rejoice in the Lord;
in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.
God makes weapons out of worms. He can take a miserable tool and make him into a majestic instrument. And the upgrade is not just one from underfoot to in hand, it is from boneless, slimy and underground to firm, sharp and in broad daylight. God takes mere men and fashions them into feared blades, new, sharp, and having teeth. God gives us bite. He doesn't just charge us to devour the darkness, He gives us the means to do it... and the teeth He gives are not cut rate, bargain bin, Craigslist finds. He provides sharp, rigid, dangerous jaws to chew through all that resists Him.
