Ecc 10:10 "A dull ax requires great strength; be wise and sharpen the blade."
and a previous posting titled "Stand out!"

Guess what? I looked up both and found that the verse was included in this previous posting which incidentally was published exactly 2 years ago to the day - Wow!! Enough said, be blessed as you read and act accordingly promptly...
“He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work...” (Exodus 35:35, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
from Joel and Victoria
It’s easy to fall into
“destination disease.” That’s when you’re comfortable where you are. You’re not
stretching, not learning anything new. There is nothing wrong with being happy
where you are, but you have to remember, you have so much more inside of you.
You were created to increase, to grow, to stretch and sharpen your skills.
Studies tell us that
the average person only uses 11% of their brain. Think about how much more
potential we all could be tapping into. Maybe you’re an accountant. That’s
good, but don’t settle there. Why don’t you go get your CPA license? There’s a
new skill you can develop. That gift will make more room for you. Maybe you’re
an electrician, a mechanic, a plumber. That’s great, but what steps are you
taking to improve? I believe in this day and age, if you are at the same skill
level today as you were five years ago, you’re at a disadvantage.
Today,
shake out of that “destination disease” and start sharpening your skills. Keep
stretching, keep growing and keep moving forward into the life of blessing God
has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father,
thank You for every good and perfect gift that You have given me. I choose to
honor You with every gift and every talent. Show me how to sharpen my skills in
a way that always brings glory and honor to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
