Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.
Proverbs 18:24 (NLT): “There are ‘friends’ who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.”
Yesterday, I said if you are not a builder in your friend’s life, it’s either you are a destroyer or you are folding your arms. And we can see from today’s scripture that friends can actually destroy each other, so you need not be ignorant of that. I know it’s hard to imagine friends tearing each other down, but it can happen, and some of you can attest to it.
Be cautious of those who stand by with their arms folded. It’s tempting to think that at least they are not causing destruction. However, consider this scenario: on one side, there are people actively building a house, while on the other side, someone is tearing it down. If there’s a person simply standing there with their arms crossed, they are not helping either side.
Builders stick closer, because they can’t build a building from afar. Takeaway: Pray for the builders in your life.
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
