Friends are like mirrors. In many ways, they can reveal to us who we are and show the type of person we may be, either wise or foolish, disciplined or sluggard. Much of Scripture is concerned with friendship, perhaps nowhere more acutely as in the book of Proverbs. Here are three particularly direct verses in regards to friendship for your consideration.
Proverbs 13:20: "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."
Proverbs 27:6: "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."
Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron so does one man sharpen another."
These verse paint a definite mural expressing the intent of friendship, the value of friendship, and the importance of making wise friends. Friendship should not ever be undervalued and it should be cherished for all that it is worth for a true friend is like salve for the wounded soul and joy to the heavy heart. Let us then praise God for the joy and pleasure of friendship!
