Do You Have a Close Friend?

Do You Have a Close Friend?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have a close friend. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people are fair weather friends. These companions will be around when times are good, but will abandon when times turn bad or become hard. Hopefully, you have friends that will go above and beyond and will be committed when you are having difficulties.

Proverbs 18:24 (ESV) is about the difference between companions and a true friend.

“A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Are you the kind of friend who sticks close?

Hopefully, you have at least one good friend who will stick close.

A Close Bond!

A Close Bond!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have close bonds with their friends. In Jesus’ name, amen.

David’s success at defeating Goliath led him to meeting with Saul and his son, Jonathan.

1 Samuel 18:1-5 (ESV) tells about Jonathan’s and David’s relationship.

“As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.”

David’s and Jonathan’s friendship will be important to each of them later on in Scripture.

The Friend Who Sticks Close!

The Friend Who Sticks Close!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have a friend who sticks close. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Some people are fair weather friends. These companions will be around when times are good, but will abandon when times turn bad or hard. Hopefully, you have friends that will go above and beyond and will be committed when difficulties arise.

Proverbs 18:24 (ESV) is about what can happened with a band of companions versus what can happen when a true friend will stand by.

“A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Are you the kind of friend who sticks close?

Hopefully, you will avoid ruin, and have at least one good friend who will stick close.
