Stay Sharp

GM. This is Soul Food, your weekly dose of bible, more reliable than your old flip phone's battery life.

🌶️🌶️🌶️ Here's the sauce for today:

The Philistines deliberately took away Israel's ability to sharpen their tools (1 Sam 13:19-21). On the day of battle, only Saul and Jonathan had swords - only they were sharp. Everyone else had to make do with farm implements.

When Jonathan stepped out in faith, he could lead because he was sharp. His armour-bearer could only follow up behind him, finishing the work after Jonathan had already struck the blow. The one with the sword, the one who was sharp, set the direction.

Here's the deal: if you want to lead in God's kingdom, you need to be sharp in the things of God. Being sharp means being rooted in His Word so deeply that you can discern His voice above the noise. It's about having your spiritual senses trained through Scripture and prayer.

The enemy wants to dull your spiritual edge, but stay rooted in Scripture. When your moment comes, you'll slice through confusion and lead with clarity because you know His voice.

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• Being rooted in God's Word keeps you spiritually sharp

• Sharp believers can discern God's voice above life's noise

• The Word of God is your sharpening stone for spiritual discernment
