GOD-FEARING COMPANIONS
BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 119:63-66
KEY VERSE: “I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts” (Psalm 119:63).
Daniel had three friends. One day, they were captured and taken to a strange land when they were still young. No one in the land they were taken to loved and served the living God, not even the king. Daniel and his friends were asked to eat food sacrificed to idols and worship the strange gods of the land, but they refused.
Daniel and his friends were children who were prayerful and always doing those things that glorified the Lord. Daniel chose God-fearing companions and they were great encouragement to one another. Godly companions will leave godly examples for you to follow.
The Bible dictionary defines a companion as one who keeps company with another; one with whom a person frequently associates and converses. It differs from an ordinary friend. The word does not necessarily imply friendship, but a companion is often or generally a close friend. God created us with a desire to make friends with others. But it is very dangerous to have friends who do not fear God. The Psalmist in our Bible passage and Daniel in our story, give us very good examples.
Evil friends will corrupt your good behaviour and lead you into trouble. Make up your mind today to keep godly friends and separate from bad ones.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to befriend people who will encourage me to love and serve You always.
