As Iron sharpens Iron,
so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27: 17)

During my life there have been times when I have felt extremely close to God and where he has placed me on earth.  There are other times when I have felt very far from God.  Those times where I felt extremely close to God, I was involved with a small group of men who held each other accountable for the things we struggle with, we studied God’s word together, we helped each other through tough times, we hung out together all the time, and were best friends.

I would encourage everyone to have a group of people who can help keep you “sharp” and accountable.
