COT: The Proverbs verse on ISI (27:17) is familiar to many in F3. For good reason, it is the subject of numerous COTs, and is found on many F3 regional and AO t-shirts across the country. There’s even an iron-sharpens-iron channel YHC encouraged the PAX to check out. YHC was recently moved by a YouVersion post on the subject of the process of sharpening another, and felt compelled to share it aloud (see below). YHC also recognized the importance of F3 in helping men get stronger physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally, so they can go out and be better men for their families and communities. YHC shared that he is a work in process, and thanked the PAX for their role in helping him and others in their own journeys to becoming HIMs. YHC also recognized the sacrificial role that Legacy is taking on as Nan’Tan and committed to helping him along the way.

Masterpieces in Process
There’s a verse in Proverbs that’s often quaintly quoted when referring to a close friendship or marriage…
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17 NIV
Yes, we want to encourage each other, cheer each other on, and sharpen each other emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But when you truly think about the implications of such a description, this verse is anything but quaint.
Iron is sharpened through heat and friction, through cutting and slicing. As it is beaten, it is reshaped into something beautiful and purposeful and even better than before.
Sharpening is purposeful, but it can also be painful. It’s intentional friction that often results in a purer, stronger, sharper character. We aren’t sharpened by thoughtless, careless, or unintentional relationships, but we are sharpened by those who lovingly help chip away the excess junk-who can recognize and visualize the masterpiece God wants us to become.
We can be sharpened by mentors, pastors, spouses, teachers, and friends. But we can also be sharpened by the dearest friend we have-the Holy Spirit. The part of God who’s considered the third “person” of the Trinity, the One who does the refining work. The Holy Spirit is like a personal and professional metal-worker who is skilled and deliberate, focused and detailed, trustworthy and true.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
When we surrender to God’s refining work inside of us, we can help others see the work of art in themselves. So today, allow God to sharpen you. Ask Him to reveal the parts of your life that need to be refined, and then surrender to the work He wants to do inside you.
