As Iron Sharpens Iron

Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron,
so one man
sharpens another 


 
 
Men:
We're hard, like iron. That's how God made us. Try to form or sharpen iron with something softer, like gold. Know what happens? Nothing. It takes something hard. Like another piece of iron.

God said it this way: 
 
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Like any tool, we have to be made into shape, and then maintained, to be effective. A blade dulls. An axe forms burrs. They all have to be sharpened regularly.

What other man or men do you have in your life who are sharpening you?

Who are you sharpening?

Be iron to another man, and let another be iron to you.

We'll all be better for it.
