Proverbs

Autumn challenged me back in August to start reading Proverbs every morning. The way she asked me to do this is to take the number of the month and read the proverb that goes along with that. For example today is January 27th so I read Proverbs 27. The math works out nice since there are 31 chapters in Proverbs. On the last day of a 30 day month I will just read two. I guess next month I will need to set my alarm earlier on the 29th.

I'm thankful to have a wife that supports me in my role as the spiritual leader. Her challenge for me to gain God's wisdom through Proverbs has enabled me to become a better husband, father, son, and minister.

Today's reading from chapter 27:17 is a well known proverb that reminds me of how a good Christian brother can help in my walk.

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Just in case you are wondering, the above picture represents iron (Fe) in it's atomic structure.
