"As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." - Proverbs 27:17
This illustration is a very powerful example of how we can help each other remain 'sharp' in our Christian faith. If one piece of iron is not regularly sharpened, it will eventually become so blunt/dull that it will not be effective anymore.
What is remarkable about this Proverb is that it implies a benefit for both parties - the two iron instruments keep each other sharp - it is not just one of them that reaps a reward. They both remain sharp from regular contact with each other.
Thought: Who is able to keep you spiritually sharp? Who do you help to keep doing the work of the Lord?
