Paul says something helpful in Philippians 3:17
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
It’s tough being a guy. We understand manliness as a concept, but it is illusive because we are prone to be weak and foolish. Sure, we can puff up our chests, have bravado, have power over those under us, be aggressive, be mouthy, and push our opinion and will.
But that doesn’t make us a man, at least not in the way we men need other men to be. And not in the way God wants men to be around other men.
We men NEED men who can be examples to us. We need examples on how to be a husband, how to be be a father, how to manage our money, how to be a good employee, how to be a friend, how to walk with God, how to be brave and have courage, how to have humility, how to fear God, how to read and study Scripture, and how to love God.
This is Paul’s point in Philippians 3:17. Let us find such men and behave and think like them.
We all need this!
