DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 16; Ezekiel 16:35-63; John 6:1-21
Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:14
We enjoy the fact that Jesus is a friend of ours. But He would remind us that we did not choose Him, indeed He says that He chose us, that we might be with Him and share fellowship together. Many aspire to be friends of the rich and famous but we have the privilege of being friends of the Almighty. Friends share information and advise each other of their activities. So, too, the Lord reveals to His chosen ones through prayer and meditation His intentions and actions. What a blessing to know that you, like Abraham of old, are His special friend and that the Lord appreciates your friendship and loyalty! —Roy Hill
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! —Joseph M. Scriven
