Day 37 – Careful, that’s sharp!
If you have kids or can recall your childhood, you probably remember hearing the scream of a concerned parent cautioning you not to run with scissors! Maybe you were the one throwing the freshly sharpened pencil across the room at your friend, or just maybe you were that child who thought it was fun to play with your dad’s, ever so sharp, pocket knife. You know the one that he cleaned his nails with and then so graciously peeled your apple with as well. Mmmm!
The bible speaks of the sharpening qualities of iron. As a craftsman used the iron to iron contact to place an edge on the intended implement, the tool became much more useful, thereby increasing the productivity of the worker. As believers, we too have a “sharpening” quality when we band together with fellow Christ-followers. The “edge” of our spiritual walk is honed through study, accountability, encouragement and fellowship. Today, seek out someone to partner with on a regular basis in an effort to “sharpen” your spiritual life!
Proverbs 27:17
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.
Pray – Ask God to send a partner in the faith that can be all of the things that were discussed above. Seek God’s will in helping you find a Godly friend to be a sounding board, encourager and prayer partner.
Reflect – List a few candidates for your long term faith partner. It may be one of your accountability partners from this very challenge. List several of the qualities that might be needed in a faith partner.
