As Iron
Sharpens Iron,
So A Friend Sharpens A Friend


Scripture

Proverbs 27

17 As iron sharpens iron,
    so a friend sharpens a friend.


Observation

What is way better than winning the “Lottery”? 

Yes, I know that there are a lot of things that are better than winning the “Lotto”, but here is one thing that maybe you haven’t thought of before. 

It is this, having good friends! 

This trip to Tennessee and to North Carolina is all about spending time with some of our very best friends. God brought them into our lives a very long time ago. 

God knew what Kathy and I needed when He brought them into our lives. 

If we could do it, and I sure wish that could, we would extend this trip to Texas and then on to Mexico to see more of our wonderful friends. 

How about you, are you making good friends? 

“As Iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs 27:17

“A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.” Proverbs 17:17

“There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24

 “Oil and perfume make the heart glad; So does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart.” Proverbs 27:9

“Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home.” Luke 16:9

Application

I will work hard at being a good friend. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Kathy and I are rich. We have so many good friends. Thank You for the gift of friendship. Help me to be a good friend to those that You bring into my life. I pray for our friends. Bless them Lord. Help them with the struggles of life. Show them Your Power and Your Strength. Help them to be strong in their faith. Thank You that You call me Your friend. Only because of Jesus and what He did on the cross for me can I be called Your friend.
