Sharpening our axe 🪓
Ecclesiastes 10:10 AMP [10] If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength; but wisdom [to sharpen the axe] helps him succeed [with less effort]." Sharpen your axe 🪓 😍 to help you succeed with less effort! I knew I needed to dedicate time to learning. Reading up 📚 on skills to develop in myself and for my marriage because I couldn't keep doing the same thing (staying in the same habits, behaviours and patterns) and expect a different outcome. For you to consider is this: If the thing you have been doing isn't working so well and is taking more effort than before, "sharpen your axe" by developing your skills. If that resonates but you don't know where to start let me give you a book recommendation. Jefferson's insights are practical, helpful, and doable! If a book isn't your thing, he has tons of Shorts for bite-size Gems on his YouTube channel.

The why behind Wisdom
...is in Proverbs 22:17-19 "Listen carefully and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge; For it will be pleasant if you keep them in mind [incorporating them as guiding principles]; Let them be ready on your lips [to guide and strengthen yourself and others]. So that your trust and reliance and confidence may be in the Lord, I have taught these things to you today, even to you." - Listen carefully - Incorporate them as guiding principles - Let them be ready on your lips to guide and strengthen yourself and others Why? Three reasons. So that our TRUST, our RELIANCE and our CONFIDENCE may be in the Lord. Amen!
