If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed

If you were to chop down a tree with an unsharpened ax, it would take lots of strength and a lot more time. More time. More strength. However, the wise man sharpens his saw and skill and God grant him success.

PRAYERS OR COMMENTS:

i will sharpen my ax by watching what comes out of my mouth

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.
proverbs 13:3

I will practice self control when I become angry, especially in competition.

I need to give myself more time in the morning to connect with God before my day really gets rolling. Each day is packed from morning til’ night and I don’t always start with a sharp blade. I’m going to bump that morning alarm 30 minutes earlier to make sure I visit the Great Blacksmith before I enter the woods for the day!
