Are you like iron?

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
Proverbs 27:17 says, "iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." What that means is that the people who are around us are the people who make us better and we make them better. Or at least it should be that way, right? I Googled some iron synonyms and some of the words were: uncompromising, unrelenting, unyielding, unbending, resolute, resolved, determined, firm, steadfast, and unwavering. Wow, those words to me convey that if a person is like iron, they are fixed, gazed, and purposeful in what they want and nothing will stop them. So I ask again, are you like iron? Do you stand on the promises of the Lord? When we're honest with ourselves, we can answer those questions with a definitive yes or no. 

And if you answer yes to both of those questions than you are indeed like iron. Yes you are. And more than likely, you are already doing positive and encouraging things. You are already sharpening those around you, because you are a sharp person who knows where you are going and where God has for you to go. You sharpen people and they sharpen you. You are attentive to excellence and you are hungry for knowledge, to which you eagerly apply to your life and the lives of others. That's wisdom. In fact, you give a new name to iron lady and iron man. And what I would say to that is, keep it up and keep the sharpening going, because we all need iron in our lives. Wouldn't you agree? So stay encouraged and keep doing what you're doing.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
