Date: August 18, 2026. Lesson 162-2026. Title: Iron, Fruit, and Mirrors: How God Shapes Us

In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 27:17–19 and three powerful pictures of how God develops His people through relationships and faithful service. Iron sharpens iron through necessary friction, the carefully tended fig tree rewards patient labor, and another person’s heart can become a mirror revealing our own. This lesson explores why genuine friends must sometimes challenge us, why faithful service is never wasted even when human recognition never comes, and how relationships expose things about our hearts that isolation can hide. God often uses other people to sharpen, reward, and reveal us.
