Friend of God
“Â…Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God’s friend”
James 2:23 (NIV)
The all-knowing, all-powerful Creator of the universe wants to be our friend! He wants to walk with us, talk with us and simply share life with us. That’s why He created us, first and foremost, for His fellowship.
The Bible says that God is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He will never leave us. He is with us always.
What an honor and privilege it is to be called God’s friend. Let that sink down into your heart today. The enemy tries to tell us that we are alone in this world, or no one understands what we are going through. With God as our friend, He’ll lead us and walk with us down the path of victory!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for being my friend today. Thank You for loving me and being faithful to me. Help me understand Your friendship today so that I can be a better friend to those around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
