TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God's friend" (James 2:23).
TODAY'S WORD
The All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Creator of the universe wants to be your friend today. He wants to walk with you and talk with you and share life with you. That's why He created you-first and foremost-for fellowship. It's as simple as opening your heart of faith to Him. If you have faith in God today, then just like Abraham, you are God's friend. And the Bible says that God is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That means He is faithful. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He is with you always. He is mindful of you-that means He is always thinking of you. What an honor and privilege it is to be called God's friend! Let that sink down into your heart today. The next time the enemy tries to tell you that you are alone in this world, or that no one else understands what you are going through, just say out loud, "I am a friend of God." With God as your friend, He'll walk forward with you down the path of victory He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for being my friend today. Thank You for loving me and for being faithful to me. Help me to understand Your friendship today so that I can be a better friend to those around me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
