Ecclesiastes 10:10
If the ax is dull
and its edge unsharpened
more strength is needed
but skill will bring success.
This verse hit me because I feel like my time here at TFA is what is being described here. And I've been trying to find Scripture and other inspirations to heopfully ensure that I k eep myself intellectually growing my entire life. Seeking out truth and not letting up. A sharp ax is a great illustration. A pure heart or wise mind are just as powerful. I hope my passion for learning remains even after I depart this place, and I hope to share life with others this way.
I'm still trying to understand this in practice but on a practical level I think it's a great simple illustration.
