Today is the 182nd day of this year - we are already half-way through the year. This is a great time to look at the past 6 months to review how you have done and to come up with a plan for the remaining 183 days.
Got this in an email and had to share...I pray you find it helpful
If I were to summarise this in one Bible verse, I point you to Ecc 10:10. I've even included it in 5 versions...who ever said the Bible is incomplete?
Amplified:
If the ax is dull and the man does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps him to succeed.
New International Version:
If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success.
New Living Translation:
Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.
New Century Version
A dull ax means harder work. Being wise will make it easier.
The Message:
Remember: The duller the ax the harder the work; Use your head: The more brains, the less muscle.
In closing, to reiterate the message, improve yourself; get better at something or even dare to step out of your boat to walk on water and learn something new. It takes courage to want to and to learn (see http://sapphire-and-beryl.blogspot.com/2009/12/secret-3-courage-5-courage-to-learn.html)
Everything is possible to him/her who believes - sharpen your axe. Wishing you a more productive second-half of the year. God bless
