Our scripture today is Proverbs 27:17 (NIV).
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
“Wisdom comes through interaction with others” according to the Filament Study Bible. When we gather with other believers to study and worship, we encourage one another in faith. This “sharpens” our discipleship as we go back into the world to share that faith. God wants us to share our thoughts and feelings to gain insight, and see that we are more alike than we often admit. Studying alone is beneficial, but meeting together to listen and share in the Spirit is essential.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of wisdom, that we might live wisely in a world that seems to worship foolishness. Bless us to be effective in our evangelism, sharing Your love everywhere. Amen.
