SHARPEN YOU AXE

"Whoever splits logs may be endangered by them. If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success." Ecclesiastes 10:9,10. Apparently King Solomon was watching a Lumber Jack working and splitting wood. How many times do we waste time and energy because we don't use a tool in a proper way without taking care of it and using it effectively. My friend God gives each one of us an "AX" - A GIFT - calling or ability- to fulfill a purpose that serves Him, mankind, and us as an individuals. Are you sharpening your ax? Listening to the Holy Spirit? Praying and believing to accomplish what God desires to be done even if it means moving in a different direction than we planned? Hey, move away from the old dull old tradition. You cannot use Samson's Jaw bone of the donkey to confront 21st century enemies with tanks, rifles, missiles and bombs - can you???
