Brisingr - Eragon had lost his only weapon to
his half brother who had betrayed him. He knew
that he now needed to find a rider's sword to
fight the evil king with. The sword maker had
sworn an unbreakable oath to never make another
sword with her two hands again, but as she
looked at the determination and power of Eragon
she decided to try. Using her magic she made the
sword through Eragon's hands. Then it was done
and she saw it was good. She had made the
greatest sword and the sword that had the best
chance of killing the king. (Adapted from the
book Brisingr by Christopher Paolini)
Maybe we aren't meant to "kill the king," but we
can work toward helping others to know Christ.
The only way we can help others is by having God
work through us as the sword maker did. He does
good work through us and saves people. By making
that sword through Eragon, the people had a hope
of being free. God wants to work through us. He
hears the pain and wants to help. Will we say,
"Here I am Lord. Will you work through me?" Will
you allow him to work through you? I hope your
answer is yes. |
