"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."Proverbs 27:17
Iron does not sharpen itself. A blade left alone in a drawer stays dull, no matter how good the steel. It takes contact, friction, and another piece of iron willing to press back.
Most of us were taught to carry our burdens alone and keep our struggles quiet. But God did not design us to grow that way. He gives us brothers.
To sit with today
- Who in your life is allowed to press back on you?
- Whose life are you sharpening right now?
