Meditate on Friendship with the Lord:
Don't
envy violent people or copy their ways. Such wicked people are detestable to
the LORD, but he offers his friendship to the godly.
Proverbs 3:31-32
Jesus offers his friendship to the godly. Can
you hear that song in the back of your mind…What
a Friend We Have in Jesus? He’s the bestest friend anyone could have! That
may not be the best grammar, but the message is the best! We who live to please
Him…who want to walk in His ways…those who are godly—seeking God with all their
heart, soul, mind and strength may be considered His friends. He is our best
friend. The best of the best.
Solomon
offered such wise advice to not envy
violent people or copy their ways. We become like those we hang out
with. That’s why we tell our children and grandchildren to be careful who they
choose as friends. Violent people, whether it is physical violence or an
abusive tongue,
are not good role models or “friends”. Consider more of
Solomon’s wisdom…

| Hang out and do fun things with good friends and family. |
The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain;
the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions. Proverbs 10:11
Violent people mislead their companions, leading
them down a harmful path. Proverbs
16:29
Here’s another promise from God to claim
day by day. Claim it and feel the love of God protecting you. What a friend we
have to rescue and protect us.
You who love the LORD, hate evil! He
protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the
wicked. Psalm 97:10
Do you treat your friends like Jesus treats
you?
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, I love You with all my heart,
soul, mind and strength. You direct the steps of the godly. You delight in
every detail of our lives. Psalm 37:23. Thank you.
