Sharpen Your Blade

Week 23 Day 6
Ecc. 10-12; Psalm 94; Eph. 5

Ecclesiastes 10:10

 ¹⁰ Using a dull ax requires great strength,
      so sharpen the blade.
   That’s the value of wisdom;
      it helps you succeed.

>>

.. Dull - requires more effort
.. Sharp - less effort to be more successful

.. Sharpen our "blades" so we can be more successful in what we do.
.. Blades - things we use for work; our instrument used

>>>

That's why there are times when I feel I am working "too hard" - perhaps, wasting time and energy  because my "blades" are too dull.  I need to sharpen them again - how? relearning stuff (back and forth - like how they'd sharpen a blade), going back to basics, and applying/doing them immediately - not waiting around until the "blade" gets dull again.

>>>>

Lord, please help me as I resharpen my blade again.  I know that's why it's been hard these few weeks is because things have gone "rusty."  I pray that as I go through the process of going back to basics and relearning things over again, that You give me a new set of eyes and ideas that I can use daily in continually living for You. I pray that You be my "blade sharper" always - that even with trials that I go through, I am also sharpened by those (at least in that aspect.)  Thank You Lord, In Jesus' name, amen.
