As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.--- Proverbs 27:17Metal sharpness comes from being around good people. And a meeting of minds can help people see their ideas with new clarity, refine them, and shape them into brilliant insights. This requires partners who can challenge one another and stimulate thought---people who focus on the idea without involving their egos in the discussion; people who know how to attack the thought and not the thinker. Two friends who bring their ideas together can help each other become sharper.--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERDear Lord, Teach me to sharpen others around me building them up and encouraging them.Grant me the wisdom and power to be deliberate and careful to sharpen them.I pray You will place people in my path who will encourage, strengthen, support and point me to You.Help me sharpen myself with Your Word so that I may not be spiritually blunt.Keep me sharpened to be willing and ready to serve You all the time.In Jesus’ name,Amen
