God's truth

Good Morning to you! Today is a great day.
I would like to share today. At our church NLCC in Woodstock,IL. Pastor Scott has started a men's group called "Ironmen." which is very right for these trying times. As men we should be guiding our families in the paths of wisdom by example and to share Jesus Christ whom lives in us. As men we need to be held accountable to God First, then to our families and then to ourselves.
With all that in mind Proverbs 27:17 is the verse that explains a bit about men being men.
"Iron Sharpens Iron so a man sharpens the countenance of His Friend." You may go Huh,or what does that mean?
Breaking it down to the Hebrew root words it becomes better understood.
Iron = Any cutting edge,like a Ax-head.
Sharpens = To be made sharp,to be fierce,to be severe
Man = Husband,Champion,Good man, Fellow,Steward
Countenance = The part that turns,Face,appears,battle,anger
Friend = Associate,Brother,Companion,Husband,Lover,Neighbor
   Brothers in Christ!WAKE UP! Take a hold of your birthright to be real men. We are to watch out for each other as Christian men ,to not lose our edge,Integrity ,accountability ,responsibility and looking deep into yourselves and being honest and then making a commitment to be aware of our actions and to control or channel our emotions and behaviors to become examples of real men in our homes, our Jobs,or schools as God's Holy Word shows us.
That in being a biblical man we become the see thru man and in having fierceness we can channel our ways closer to God's ideas of living and being children of God that entails daily work in bible reading and in studying  and learning everything that the Bible speaks to us.
What we have to do is apply what God says and when you do that many things happen. You instantly become aware of changes you may need to do in your life,you want to change and you hunger for communion with Jesus,You Pray, trusting in Jesus for every thing. Walk by Faith and being Filled with the Holy Spirit.
