Skill Brings Success

“If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.” (Eccles. 10:10 NIV)

Practice

The above passage says you need to sharpen your ax with skill, because a dull ax takes more energy and a sharp ax allows you to work more efficiently, which is smarter, not harder.

Sharpen up your abilities your aptitudes, and your skills

Sharpening up is a prudent step towards achieving success in your abilities, aptitudes and skills. How do you do this? One way is to stir them up and get them moving and working. Here’s the key: Just work on what you’re good at and make it better. Build on your strengths so that your weaknesses become irrelevant.

“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...” (2 Tim. 1:6)

Therefore

 “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might…” (Eccles. 10:9)
