Proverbs 27:17
17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
We need each other. One of the hallmarks of any recovery process is accountability. When we are not accountable to anyone, it is easy to rationalize foolish decisions. When we are accountable, it gives God a chance to speak truth into our life through someone else. It has often been observed that it is easier to see a log in someone else's eye than in our own; by that same reasoning, it is useful to get an outside perspective on our "logs". This is the process of "sharpening" each other, where we confront and guide each other in the ways of holiness. Who are you accountable to? Who speaks truth into your life?
Lord, help me to find good accountability in my life.
