Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 27. I will then key in on verse 27 - As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Friends, to have a truly successful life, I believe that you need to have at least one (and preferably two or three) close friend (s) that we can go to when we need counsel (or prayer). Today I will go over several scripture verses:
1. Galatians - Chapter 6:verse 1 - and read the commentary in my Bible (the Nelson Study Bible)
2. Matthew - Chapter 7:verses 1-5 - Friends, we are not to judge people (we will be judged in the same manner that we judge people).
3. James 3:verses 13-18 - When we correct someone we are to do it with the Spirit of Gentleness
4.Proverb 27:5-6 - If you are a faithful friend to someone, you will correct them - but do it with gentleness, kindness, and love
I will then review our verse of the day: Proverb 27:17. Call to action - ask yourself if you are a close friend like this to anyone, but - more importantly do you have anyone like this in your life (that you can seek advice from or go to for counsel (or prayer)? If not, I consider you begin looking for someone (preferably from church).
