IRON SHARPENS IRON
“Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17).
To sharpen something that is as hard as iron, it takes something equally hard. Anything softer would be reshaped itself. But iron sharpens another piece of iron. Even so, one man or woman sharpens another.
That’s what mentoring or discipling is all about. We sharpen one another. What I’ve learned in life helps strengthen someone else. What they’ve learned helps strengthen me.
Let take this to the next level. You and I have a responsibility to reshape our friends’ lives. We do that by interacting with them and holding the accountable in their lives. If we’re truly ‘friends’, its not that hard to sharpen one another.
