Today’s Scripture

If your overseer gets angry at you, don't resign, because calmness pacifies great offenses. Here's another tragedy that I've observed on earth, a kind of error that comes from an overseer: Foolishness is given great honor, while the prosperous sit in lowly places. And I have observed servants riding on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants. Whoever digs a pit may fall into it, and whoever breaks through a wall may suffer a snake bite. Someone who quarries stone might be injured; someone splitting logs can fall into danger. If someone's ax is blunt—the edge isn't sharpened—then more strength will be needed. Putting wisdom to work will bring success.

Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

Today’s Thought

Keep an eye out for laboring too hard; maybe your ax is too dull… It takes more effort to work with a dull ax than it does to work with a sharp one… So, sharpen your ax with spiritual wisdom and cut right through the dull days of old…

Today’s Challenge

Think about areas where you are working too hard… Those are likely the areas you need to sharpen your spiritual ax in. Take note and then make an effort to get sharper in those areas through wisdom from the Word of God.
