THE ACT OF SHARPENING

THE ACT OF SHARPENING
Proverbs 27:17

WHET! This means to rub for the purpose of sharpening, as to file an ax. Applied in spiritual discernment it means to whet on or whet forward, to urge on; to instigate; the act of sharpening by friction. Something that provokes or stimulates the appetite; “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:14).
Believers, whet your discernment. By becoming personally familiar with the scriptures and praying for the Spirit’s wisdom you may sharpen your judgment. There are many false prophets in the world, and good men may go astray from the central theme of the scriptures and the primary purpose of the ministry. The theme of the Bible is Christ, and its purpose is to exalt God and edify saints.
“Search the Scriptures,” John 5:39. The Greek word search is a strict, close, diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold or hunters when they are in earnest to get their game. We should not be content to read a chapter or two, but through the Spirit seek out the hidden meaning of the Word of God.
The Word of God requires searching; it can only be learned by careful study. There is milk for babes, but also meat for strong men. It is said that “a mountain of matter hangs upon every word, even on every jot and tittle of Scripture.” No man who just skims the book of God will profit. We must dig and mine until we obtain the hidden treasure. The understanding of the Word will only come through diligent searching.
The Scriptures are the breathings of God. Who would dare treat them with lightness? Those who despise them despise the God who inspired them. God forbid that any of us should leave the Word of God to be a witness against us.
The Word of God will have rewards for searching. It will grow upon you. It is full of surprises. Under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, to the searching eye, there will be revelation.
Sheep by nature are silly and foolish and so often Christ’s sheep will applaud that which they do not understand. Beware little children, of exposing your souls to that which is not true. The Scriptures reveal Jesus; “They are they which testify of Me.” Not a more powerful motive can be urged upon your study than this. He who finds Jesus finds life and heaven. Happy will he be who by searching his Bible discovers his Savior.
