The Sword for Use
2 Samuel 23:10
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword…


The glittering sword with its keen edge and jewelled hilt is an object of beauty as a work of art, yet it is harmless. But in the muscular grip of a soldier's hand and swung with a purpose and an aim, it is a dread weapon. So with truth wielded with skill and power by the consecrated preacher.
