Looked up the definition of iron: 1. a ductile, malleable, silver-white metallic element, scarcely known in a pure condition, but much used in its crude or impure carbon-containing forms for making tools, implements, machinery.
It's just not found in a pure condition but I still used in its crude form to accomplish work. We are suppose to be like Iron. Recognize we are not perfect, but still being used. Men, this verse seems to slip by us way too often. It's not a choice whether the iron is strong or not, it just is and it is used to accomplish great works outside of itself. Why do we fail to miss the opportunity to sharpen each other and challenge each other? Quit letting this world dictate that we are suppose to be all soft and pliable. Challenge one another and strengthen each other!!! Let me tell you that it is hard in this world to find MEN who are real MEN!! Be passionate for Jesus, your wife, you kids, and to help challenge each other!! Come on!!! Step it up!!! You can not sharpen iron with a cotton ball!!
Here is your stone!! "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17 NIV)
