Importance of a "Cornerman"

- A "Cornerman", or simply corner, is a combat sports term for a coach or team mate assisting a fighter during the length of a bout. The Cornerman remains outside the combat area during the fight, but in proximity, and can assist the fighter through instruction. This instruction can take place in between rounds, as in boxing. The Cornerman often performs cutman duties such as applying ice to reduce swelling and stopping bleeding. The Cornerman is also responsible for throwing in the towel when necessary. In boxing Cornermen are called seconds; originally, seconds were the agents of participants in a duel.

Hebrews 10:24-25 - "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

I don't know about you, but I need more "Cornermen" in my life because they help me with the battle, they don't take it over from me, but they encourage me through it... I also want to make sure I am being a good "Cornerman" to those around me and encouraging people, telling them what is true about them, giving them tips I have learned, cleaning their face, tending to their wounds, and giving them a refreshing and thirst quenching drink of the living water of Jesus!
