Friend at all times....?

"A friend loves at all times and a brother was born for adversity" - Proverbs 17:17

God knows that sometimes we need other people to help us go through our hard times. But only our sisters and brothers in Christ. They will understand because we are part of the same family. (SEE 1 Corinthians 12:26). They will also be acting according to scripture. "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God" - 1 John 4:7. Not everyone who you are friends with is actually a Christian. They may seem to know God but don't let that distract you. If they are not acting like Jesus, (SEE Phillipians 2:5) they are not your brother or sister in Christ. If they are, they would love to go through your hard times with you and not abandon you in them. "There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad and a time to dance" - Ecclesiastes 3:4. But, after these troubles, will you still go with God? Even in the happy times? And only go to Him in bad times? It's either your in our out. (SEE Matthew 13) Which are You?

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...
