Brotherhood Over Self #063

Spartans ate, trained and died together. Their strength was their phalanx — each man’s shield guarding the man beside him.

I have had brothers watch my back in hostile territory in battles while others were back stateside. Their faithfulness under fire reminded me: No man survives alone.

Have you had a brother like that — one who stood with you when the pressure was crushing? Beware of the person who does it only for selfish reasons, not because it’s the right thing to do.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” —Galatians 6:2

Warrior’s Reminder

A lone wolf dies. A pride of lions wins.
