Proverbs 27:17Â “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”
Men tend to keep things inside and this verse tells us though the power of being there for a friend. Not only is their bonding that occurs but being there for a brother in Christ can uplift them, keep them accountable and makes them feel better. Men need each other in the worst way and we tend to bottle things up and that leads to problems. If you know someone you could reach out to, do so today!

Thought: If you are ever called into action it will most likely not be because of some bar brawl or street fight. It may be someone with a mental illness or could be a close family friend whoâs child is on drugs. Our goal is not to do his most damage as possible but to put people in compliance so they cannot do harm to others or themselves. We have to be ready for that as well.
