Sharpening a knife with a stone is a unique process. You start with a rough stone to get out the imperfections and get to a flat and level surface. Next you proceed to a medium stone to put the bevel on the knife. The third stone is the honing stone. You add a few drops of oil and hone the edge with slow strokes to get the best possible edge. It takes a long time to get a good edge.
This is what our Christian friends should be in our life. Help us take out the rough edges and be with us as God hones us just the way he wants us to be.
Thanks to a good friend for last night.
May I be a good Christian friend and allow myself to be "honed" by God.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17
