Just A Few Good Friends

Proverbs 18:24 Some friends are fun to be with, but a true friend can be better than a brother. 

Not too long ago, I had an event to launch a new book, “Unlocking the Power of Prayer”. And look, it was great. So many people turned up, and it was one of those nights when, well, God just blessed it and everything went really well.

By the time we got out of there, it was around quarter to nine in the evening and a few close friends had organised to catch up with my wife and me for coffee and cake at a nearby café.

Now, I’m more of a morning person than an evening person, and with all that was involved in arranging and hosting this event, honestly, I was pretty tired and just quietly, I’d much rather have gone home. But, they’d arranged this for us, so we went along. And as things turned out – this ended up being the best part of the night.

The big event was great, but celebrating with these few close friends over a coffee, well, it just made me realise what an incredible blessing they were from God.

Some friends are fun to be with, but a true friend can be better than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24)

Friends, true friends, are an incredible blessing. How easy it is in this busy world of ours just to rush around doing the big things, and forget to make time for friends.

The time we invest – and that’s what it is, investing – in true friends, enriches our lives and theirs. And one day, that bond of true friendship may be the only thing that keeps you from falling.

Make time for true friends in your life.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
