A dull blade requires more effort, but a sharp one makes the work efficient. Just like an axe, our spiritual lives need sharpening—through devotions, prayer, and even trials. Challenges refine us and prepare us to be more effective for God’s purposes. Take time today to sharpen your "axe" and rely on His wisdom for success. "If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success" (Ecclesiastes 10:10).
