A minute for prayer… minutes for God’s word… minutes for fellowship…
And now I get personal. Who are your friends?
The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Proverbs 12:26
- Do you number these as ones who would stand in your stead defending you before all in the Lord?
- Are they an army of love in Christ Jesus?
- Or are they few, perhaps even one?
- Do you even stand alone, one silent witness in the sea of a large congregation?
- Who are your friends in Christ?
I must confess that I would go alone to the prophet’s mountain, rather than pour forth Christ’s love upon another. I fear the closeness of other men and other women, who have so often wounded my insecure confidence and challenged my faith in the Lord.
A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity. A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment. – Proverbs 17:17;18:1
Do we give a minute to a friend?
And then another to another?
What counsel will we accept in the Lord from our brother (or sister) in Christ?
Are we a friend to many in Christ?
Or are we selfish with the minutes God has graciously given to us?
