Sharpen...

As iron sharpens iron,

so one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

I know this is a well known Scripture, but it was in my reading today.

I can't help but remember a lesson I once read:

"iron doesn't sharpen iron"

Wait.

Iron sharpens iron with heat.

Man does not sharpen man.

Man sharpens man with the heat he has:

What gives us heat?

Fire...as in the Holy Spirit.

The fire of the Lord cleanses, refines, polishes.

I could give a host of Scripture verses for that, but you could find them yourself, I'm sure.

One of the best (imo) is 1Peter 1:3-9.

The Lord bless you today and use you to sharpen another!
