Smile
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)
Today’s Morsel: What do you do daily to put a smile on someone else’s face? A lot of people seem to have little or no joy at all. Folks’ lives seem to be turned upside down. Since Covid, many seem to be without hope. I’m not talking about those who do not know Jesus. I’m talking about those who say that they do know Him. When I was a kid, my mother and father would take two knives, rubbing both together sharpening them. Solomon states that iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. The analogy here is that of two friends are supposed to make each other better. The more time you spend with your friend, the more honed, perfected, refined, and skilled you ought to be. Especially, if the other individual says that they are your friend. Jesus said that he has called us friend. The more time and closeness we spend with Him, the more prepared, able, equipped, and well-founded we will be. Life should not be all about you and what you can achieve. It ought to be about how you can help others to reach their goals in life as well. If your friend is picking low cotton, you may not be honing them. So, what are you going to do to pick them up and put a smile on their face?
Sing: You’re my brother, you’re my sister, so take me by the hand, together we will work until He comes. There’s no foe that can defeat us, when we are walking side by side. As long as there is love, we can stand.
Thought For Today: “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10)
