The Importance of Friends


Scripture

Proverbs 27

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

Observation

Do you have some friends that will get in your face when you are messing up? Do you have some close friends that will confront you when they see you doing something that is not good? I do.

Men should have a least 3 close friends that will hold them accountable. Most men don’t have any one; in fact, most men don’t have any close male friends period. If you are a man and you want to be all that God wants you to be then I would encourage you to find a small group of men and let them hold you accountable where you can live out this verse.

Application

I will continue to meet with my men’s small group and I will continue to value their friendship and their counsel.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the guys that I meet with every week. Thank You for my fellow pastors that keep me accountable and for the men in our church that also hold me accountable in my walk with You. Bless each one of them today. Keep them from sin and help them grow in their faith and in their walk with You.
