Some time ago I helped a young man who needed money for tuition --- by buying some cutlery from him. Oh, he gave me a great deal, I'm sure. The best part was the vegetable peeler. It is the utensil I value most from that purchase!
I knew when I bought them, that the knives were very sharp. I keep them in their little cardboard covers when not using them, and I'm very careful. Usually.
Last night I needed to split open an Vitamin E to put the oil on my new knee scar. I grabbed the serrated knife and was in a hurry. My left index finger is now swathed in 4 bandaids to stop the bleeding!
I'm doing a study by Anne Graham Lotz and this week it's about going deeper into the Word of God. Today's scripture was about the Word being a "double-edged sword" that divides soul and spirit, and lays bare all the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts. Paul told Timothy to be very careful how you handle the Word of God. Undoubtedly because it's SHARP.
We value sharp knives --- do we value the Word as well? Or prefer a dull blade?
