Pray this Lazaroo in wise anticipation:

“They will beat their swords into plowshares…”
(Isaiah 2:4)

That’s a wonderful thing to do with a sword, Jesus –

reshape it into a tool that digs in the ground
rather than into a human being

turn a megaton bomb into a megawatt power station
retool a lethal dagger into a life-saving scalpel.

Sounds good.

We need to keep working on that.

But until evil is eliminated from the earth
good people need to keep a few swords handy

just in case.
