in The Word it says "a man is right in his own eyes". when left to our own devices we will always think something is right that is wrong. we must be attentive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and surround ourselves with good Godly counsel in order to make right decisions. I, at the least, was really good at convincing myself something was good and from God that wasn't. we must have others who will hold us in true accountability and tell us when we are in the wrong places mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Our men's group has been praying and supporting each other as we meet each week. Men are stronger when they uphold other men through prayer and fellowship.

Being in recovery i have a sponsor and accountability partners in my group. I try to surround myself with like minded brothers and share my story with those that are on the fence.

Each of us needs to surround ourselves with others that will keep us accountable and ask the hard questions. Keep us on track and serving the Lord. In order to have brothers like that, we need to be a brother like that. Brothers in Christ!

Our nature is to spend time around those who will praise us, rather than those who will challenge us. I pray that God keep me moldable and open to criticism, so that I may continue to grow and remove my many character defects. Lord, I pray that you continue to place people in my life who I can learn from, challenging my old way of thinking, and therefore guiding me back to you. Lord please help me to be the Father my children need, as I imitate you, they too imitate you through my example of Grace, Understanding, and Faith in their one true Father. Amen

Raw iron does not start out useful - it has potential. It is only after the Master has give His vision and subjected it to forging heat
54/365: How To Keep Your Edge
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. ~ Proverbs 27:17
God said, "it is not good for the man to be alone." In response, he built us a suitable mate. The holy trinity is made of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The apostle paul wrote to churches, not individuals.
Jesus called a group of disciples to build a ministry. He hung out with an even closer group of 3.
God's message is clear - we are designed to work as a team. He built you to run in packs. You are stronger, sharper, and more effective when you are with others.
GO DEEPER: Ecclesiastes 4: 7-12
NEXT STEP: Look around. Is there anyone you could call at 2am to help you out of trouble? Is there anyone who feels comfortable calling you?
