If I seem dull, strength will bring skill
I'm given a mission to do the Lord's will
The bearer removes that which fails to bear
I've floated on water to ease a man's care
What am I?

This one's gonna take some thought. The only thing I can think of is a sword but it really doesn't make sense. Then I thot of the bible but that didn't make sense either. And, last but not least, the name brand bar of soap that floats (well, it could ease a man's care, somewhat  ). Humm, another hard one Whitehorse!!! |

An axe head/iron?  2 Kings 6:5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. |

Those were all good guesses. Good job, guys!
Sincereheart got it-it's an axehead. It floated, it works at the tree roots to cut the trees down, and proverbs says that if we have a dull axe, strength will bring success.
Good job!

Here is a new one I made up hope it amuses and tests you.
Redeemed by a lamb or pulled from the pit
I describe Issachar and that’s not the half of it
I bore wood for the offering, and money that was planted
I turned from the angel and mocked the prophet who ranted
Eighty silver pieces my head was deemed worth
But my jaw took thousands away from their birth
I rest on the Sabbath and as a stray must be brought back
Through my offspring, the king, a ride did not lack
What am I?

Donkey.
She stopped and lay down in the road when an angel was sent to destroy her master, and spoke to him in human voice.
Joseph hid a gold cup in Benjamin's sacks (planted money??) and a donkey bore firewood.
Samson killed Philistines with the jawbone of one.
Jesus rode one into Jerusalem.
No work is allowed on Sabbath, so the Jews would not let their animals labor.
Issachar was described as a wild donkey.
Jesus used the parable of a donkey fallen into a pit, to see if the Pharisees would truly do no work at all on the Sabbath - if they would help their neighbor's donkey out, or leave it in the hole.

Absolutely right - good work. Redeemed by a lamb or pulled from the pit Ex 13:13 and Lk 14:5 I describe Issachar and that’s not the half of it Gen 49:14 I bore wood for the offering, and money that was planted Gen 12:3 and Gen 42:27 I turned from the angel and mocked the prophet who ranted Num 22:21 Eighty silver pieces my head was deemed worth 2 Kg 6:25 But my jaw took thousands away from their birth Jdg 15:15 I rest on the Sabbath and as a stray must be brought back Lk 13:15 and Ex 23:4 Through my offspring, the king, a ride did not lack Zec 9:9 What am I? |
