Are You Sharpened for God's Use?
A sword is only as useful as its sharpness. A dull blade, no matter how strong, cannot cut through the toughest obstacles. A believer, no matter how gifted, cannot be fully used by God unless refined in holiness. The sharper the weapon, the greater its effectiveness in battle. Holiness is the refining fire that makes a man ready for spiritual warfare.
Are you allowing God to sharpen you, removing sin and self-will? Are you prepared for the battles He calls you to fight? Let Him shape you, hone you, and wield you for His glory.
"Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work."
— 2 Timothy 2:21
