There’s a myth out there—one that men have been buying into for generations. The idea that strength is found in solitude. That real men don’t need help, don’t need counsel, don’t need brothers. But let me tell you something: lone wolves don’t last.
The enemy loves nothing more than an isolated man. A man without accountability. A man without encouragement. A man with no one to call him higher when he starts to drift. You see, a lone wolf might think he’s strong, but out in the wild, he’s vulnerable, exposed, and easy prey.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 – "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."
Look at David—he had Jonathan, a brother in arms who strengthened him in the Lord. Look at Moses—he had Aaron and Hur, men who literally held up his arms when he grew tired. Even Jesus, the Son of God, walked closely with twelve men, investing in them, relying on their presence in His darkest hours. If Christ Himself didn’t walk alone, what makes us think we can?
Question of the Day: Who are the brothers in your life that lift you up, challenge you, and fight alongside you? And if you don’t have them—what’s stopping you from seeking them out?
Let’s Pray:
Father, You did not create us to walk this journey alone. Help us to build strong, godly friendships that sharpen us and strengthen us. Show us the men we need to walk with, and give us the courage to step into true brotherhood. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let’s Get to Work!
