Using a dull ax requires great strength,
so sharpen the blade.
That’s the value of wisdom;
it helps you succeed. (Ecclesiastes 10:10 NLT)

Imagine having a weapon that you can use to defeat all your enemies. Won't that be great? In fact we do have this weapon - wisdom that God gives, and also prayer. The only problem here is that we don't sharpen it, we don't use it enough. Instead, we are just contented that we have it although it has no power to do anything. Only when situations arise, we feel that we need to sharpen our weapon. But isn't it too late? We need to start preparing early, even if everything seems to be calm. A storm never turns up after we are ready, it comes unexpected.
