“IRON SHARPENETH IRON” (Proverbs 27:17)
“As Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
This timeless proverb reveals a profound truth: our growth and refinement often come through meaningful relationships.
Just as iron becomes sharper through friction with another piece, so too are we sharpened, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, by the influence of others.
The right companions challenge us, provoke deeper thought, and inspire us to become better versions of ourselves.
When we walk with the wise, we absorb wisdom. But if we surround ourselves with those who discourage mock or ignore godly counsel, we risk stagnation, or worse, moral and spiritual decline.
Choose your inner circle wisely. Seek mentors and friends who:
- Reflect godly character,
- Share your values and vision,
- Inspire growth, accountability, and purpose.
And just as others sharpen you, be the iron that sharpens someone else. Offer encouragement, correction, and wisdom in love.
