My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord.
Psalm 145:21
We all need a friend someone we can turn to, talk to, and even cling to if necesssary. Sometimes friends are family members, Sometimes they're co-workers, or schoolmates, or neighbors. When you have a friend, you know you are loved, and the days seem brighter. But not everyone has a friend. Many people go through life with sinking feeling that no one really cares in a special way for them. It is a lonely, haunting feeling.
To anyone like that and actually to all of us let me suggest the ultimate Friend. He is the Lord God, the One who, far more than our deepest companionship needs.
When we consider all that God does for us, it's obvious that He is our greatest Friend. In Psalm 145, we read that God upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down (v.14). He gives food in due seadon and satisfies the desire of every living thing (vv.15-16). God is righteous in all His ways and gracious in all His works (v.17). The Father is near to all who call on Him in truth (v.18). He fulfills the desire, heard the cry and saved those who fear Him (v.19). And He preserves all who love Him (v.20),
God is the ultimate Friend. Depend on Him.
We have a Friend who'll never leave,
Who closer than a brother;
He's there to meet our deepest needs,
To comfort like no other.
