A nurse without a patient
A food server without a guest
A home builder without a client
And a catcher without a pitcher
We need each other
We build each other up
Challenge each other
Even compete with each other
“Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17
We probably don’t know what it’s like to work with dull iron, but if God says to sharpen your iron, then I’m going to do what I can to stay sharp! And that will only happen close together.
Will there be iron shavings that sometimes fly and scrape us? Absolutely!
But you’ll need your friend to help you clean yourself up!
Will it be noisy as the sharpener does its thing? You bet!
But talking and laughing together will make you forget about the noise!
And how will you even learn to sharpen your iron without a mentor or coach?
“The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.” Exodus 18:18
