Best Friends

Friends are essential for our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Friends listen to our heartaches without blaming us for having problems. The defend us when we're attack. They are happy when we succeed and sad when we fail. They give us wise counsel to keep us from making foolish choices. They even risk making us angry for the sake of making us right. My  friends have done all of this and more for me.

Perhaps the best known friendship in the Bible is that of Jonathan and David. Jonathan was heir to the throne of his father Saul. But he knew that the Lord had chosen David for that role, so he risked his own life to save his friend. (1 Sam.20).

As the Bible shows us, we need to choose friends carefull (Prov. 12:26). The very best friends are those who are friends with God and who strengthen our relationship with Him. (1 Sam. 23:16).

I do not ask for many friends, but give me Lord, the few whose loyalty and faithfulness are first of all to you.

True friends are like diamonds-precious and rare.

OUR MORAL COMPASS

If my people turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

The Lord told King Solomon what would change the morall compass of God's people Israel.  It was to start with humilty and confession.  If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chron.7:14).

As a Christian community, we should first take an inventory of our personal lives.  As we humbly seek God in prayer and repentance of sin, changes  begin in our lives. God may then use us to change a nation's moral compass.

Revive us again, fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

NOTHING IS POLITICALLY RIGHT WHICH IS MORALLY WRONG.
