Proverbs 18:24
One who has unreliable friends comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
My family of origin spread out all over the map with my generation. I know my brothers love me, but I don’t generally ask them for help. But I do have a couple of very good friends, and know that if I needed something, they would provide it for me if they could. “A friend who sticks closer than a brother”- I don’t think this proverb was written with conscious reference to Jesus, but it certainly could have been! And it is no surprise that my closest friend is a faithful Christian. A good friend in Christ is truly a blessing.
Holy Lord, you have designed us and created us in a way that leads us to seek others as companions and friends. When we have solid strong friendships, we feel safe. I am thankful for my friends today. Amen
