Proverbs 27:9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
These two verse center on a very important topic and that is about friendship. It begins by telling us hat just as a sweet perfume is good to smell so is the trust we can put in a true friend. It is good to have a friend to confide in and know you can trust them to keep the conversation confidential. Next we see we should not forsake the friendship of family even though sometimes it is better to have a friend out side the family. Sometimes family may not be close enough to help so you need a close friend. Even sometimes family friendships may not be as reliable. Let us strive to have good friendships with family and people we can put our trust in and to also make ourselves available to be that trusted friend for someone. Pleas attend church today and let God fill your heart and mind with what he has for you today.
