"A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter." Sir 6:9
The wisdom of the Book of Sirach is simple, direct and compelling. We read it too infrequently. If you have been blessed with a life long friend then you know the truth of today's text. Walking with someone through life is a great gift.
Though I can't can't travel easily any longer, the prospect of seeing friends who live acroos the country fills me with delight and anticipation. I know that picking up a conversation, even it was interrupted several years ago, will be simple, natural and sweet.
God wants to be that kind of friend. Turn to God today, even if you have ignored God for weeks, moths or year and you will encounter someone who has been waiting for you without complaint and is ready to embrace you again if only you will slow down.
Today, turn to God and see what happens.
Who of your friends most reminds you of God's fidelity?
