FRIENDS ARE FOREVER
MEMORY VERSE: “Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not” (Proverbs 27: 10).
TEXT: PROVERBS 27: 5-10
G. Randolf said, “Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.” I guess you do not have a friend yet if you do not find Randolf’s assertion to be true. A rather classical example of a great friendship was that between David and Jonathan. Neither distance nor difference in social status could separate them. When Jonathan eventually died in war, David lamented over him (2 Samuel 1:25, 26). He later showed Jonathan’s only son, Mephibosheth, kindness for his sake (2 Samuel 9:1-13). That was friendship! Do you know that technology has made friends distance themselves from each other? Many people get hooked up to their smart phones without talking to anyone! This puts a strain on friendship leading to separation. Today is International Day of Friendship!
Our text admonishes that, “Thine own friend and thy father’s friend forsake not.”To have ‘friends forever,’ the followings are necessary: 1. Have the fear of God. 2. Love and care for each other 3. Where possible, visit often, sharing common needs and interests 4. Speak the truth in love as a friend of Christ.
QUOTE: Love and care for each other.
PRAYER: Lord help me to maintain true friendship.
CHALLENGE: Lord help me to maintain true friendship
