May 1st: Deuteronomy 18, Ecclesiastes 10 and Acts 9

"If iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed."

That's from Ecclesiastes 10. What a great way to say, "Step back from the problem, think about it. What would fix the problem? Be smart." There are so many things in my life that I tried to muscle through. I pushed and pushed only to have something fail.

The same guy that wrote this also said in a book of Proverbs: "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

I wonder if he is trying to say, "Guys, ask someone for some help. Be sharper. Stop trying to make everything work your way."
