The Power of Friction


Iron is made sharp with iron, and one man is made sharp by a friend. - Proverbs 27:17


A piece of iron can sharpen another piece of iron, but it happens through striking, friction, and with sparks. We think of the iron of a blacksmith’s hammer working on a sword to make it sharp.


A man can be used to sharpen (improve and develop) his friend, but it may happen through a bit of friction and sparks. We shouldn’t be afraid of such and expect that true sharpening can happen without the occasional use of friction.


By a dear friend of mine, Jeff Foster.


Team Wade loves you and is praying for you 👊❤️
