The Friendly, Proverbs 18


"An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends; he defies all sound judgment."

Proverbs 18:1


My friend Bill Adams at "Aeros Hockey Game"

Are you a true friend or fake friend? I am an observer of people and it is amazing to see the amount of passive aggressiveness at play in this day. We have a natural desire to be social and set-up our own standards as to who will be a friend or not. True, we should not associate with those who may corrupt our character, but for the most part I have observed most just need a friend. I discovered that my friend has fallen off the wagon and his life might be at stake. I've prayed that he might call me to touch base to let me know he is okay. If you see him. Let him know I care and he is my bud. Most of my friends know that I will return every e-mail, every call, and that they can call me 24/7. How avaialbe are you to your circle of friends?


"Friends" by Michael W. Smith

Proverbs 18:12 - "Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor."

Do you know any proud people who are headed for a fall. In this era, it is quite easy to pick the "me-focused" people. You and I could probably spot one by looking in the mirror. We have to remind ourselves daily that we need to be humble and allow God to impact our focus. When we focus on him, then life makes more sense. We must humble ourselves to receive his commands.

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
