Effort of a Dull Ax or Sharp Wisdom?


Ecclesiastes 10:10
If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

Do we try to do things in our own strength of effort, using a dull ax and simply swinging it harder and harder as we try to succeed?  Or do we look to God and with Him into His word to have His Spirit guide us to wisdom?  Do we sharpen our souls by His Spirit according to the Bible?  Stop swinging the dull ax of works and let the grace of His word give us the edge.
