Intro.:
A. Have you ever tried to use a knife or pair of scissors only to find that they wouldn’t cut?
It was probably frustrating – the problem: They needed to be Sharpened!
B. Our passage today has a Biblical principle that teaches us how to be Sharpened!
Read Proverbs 27: 17 – As Iron Sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another.
C. Now Proverbs is a book about Wise sayings and how important it is to be Wise. It is written primarily as a way to guide, instruct and influence Solomon’s Sons, and yet all people to live fully in the Lord.
You will find general sayings of wisdom and truth to live with integrity, honesty, morally and in relationship with your spouse, children, friends, neighbors, your enemies, business associates – and of course the Lord!
In fact, Prov. 1:7; The Fear of the Lord is the beginning o knowledge… Prov. 9:10; The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
So these Wise sayings begin with us being in a relationship with the Lord.
D. So what do we learn about this Wise Saying and the Principle of how we can be Sharpened?
