Men (not so much women, as I can tell) normally don’t have strong bonds. We tend to be “loners,” and I have not yet totally figured out why.
But I have found over many decades of life that when men have a common goal, something to “build together” or team up to accomplish a certain endgame, that real relationships are formed. For many, they last for a lifetime, as in the case of “Band of Brothers” - whether that be during wartime or on the sports field, or working together to “finish the job and get the reward.”
I am encouraged when I read the exploits of David, Jesus, and Paul, who picked leaders from among men to lead the people.
“David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And David [a]departed from Baale-judah, with all the people who were with him, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the Lord of armies who is enthroned above the cherubim.” 2 Samuel 6:1-3 (NASB)
In Luke 6:13, it reads of our Lord Jesus, “And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles…”
Men will again be chosen to lead in their families and in areas where their return to the forefront is needed.
The days of just sitting back and letting others do it are over. Three more amigos and beyond!
Ahava and Shalom,
