What does the Bible say about friends?

Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Make sure you are equally yoked with your closest friends. We by no means should shut unbelievers out of our lives. Quite the opposite. We are called to preach the Word (2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.) However, we need to make sure we are around the unbelievers specifically to minister to them and that those we have as our close friends we are equally yoked with. (1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”)

That's My King!

Let God use you

Read Hebrews 11 and be encouraged that you don't have to be perfect to be in the perfect will of God. God uses all kinds of people. You just need to be willing and obedient. Be faithful and let God work through you today.

Obedience

Sometimes it's hard to relinquish control. We want what we want when we want it. Or sometimes we are just tired and we want to do something that makes us happy or do something in our time not God's. But there is an overwhelming peace and joy that comes from being obedient to God. We need to step out in faith and obey what God says. The more time you spend in the Word and prayer the closer you will be to God. The closer you are to God (just like with anyone you are close to) you will trust Him more. You won't want to do things that make Him sad or disappointed or offended. You will want to obey. It won't be a chore any more to obey; it will be an honor. Something you hunger to do daily. So don't let the word obedience or submit have a negative connotation for you anymore. Feel blessed that you can serve the most high because the veil has been torn and that you have the opportunity to put a smile on His face. God is awesome!
