Polished Arrows

How can you be an arrow in God’s hand, ready and willing to be fired wherever He sends you?

Isaiah 49 says that God, ‘made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.’ Jenny Sanders guides us through the sometimes painful process of what it takes to craft a traditional arrow – a metaphor for God preparing and shaping us to be fired effectively into our culture and contexts. Another Old Testament prophet claimed that God is ‘calling many arrows’ (Habakkuk 3:9). It’s time to be prepared and respond. There’s an urgency in God’s call. Our response to Him may determine our readiness.

Will we be jostling competitively with the other arrows, or are we content to rest in the dark quiver, poised for His call?

With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, and biblical examples to illustrate the process, Jenny encourages us to submit ourselves fully to the loving hands of the Master Archer.
