Ax Sharpening

Erma Bombeck offered some good advice to those graduates of Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. At the Commencement Ceremonies, Ms. Bombeck gave some good maternal counsel, “Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.” (The Houston Chronicle, May 1991, p. 2) IOWJUL91

The Bible has a lot to say about success:

Joshua 1:8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Ecclesiastes 10:10   

If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

There is a time-proven stone that can sharpen your old ax, and it is the Word of God. Rest your head against it and let it do its work.

Give it some thought.
