You've Got A Friend...

Remember the song "You've Got A Friend In Me?"  That is what you have in Jesus.  He will keep you from harm. He will keep others from hurting you.  You may go so low that you do not feel you have a friend to your name.  Everyone is against you.  Even your friends will turn against you.  You may not know it, but they will.  But consider this:  God will never talk bad about you, complain or turn his back on you.  He will always be there.  Can you say the same thing about you being a good friend to him?

Psalm 41
    ¹How blessed is he who considers the helpless;
         The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble.
    ²The LORD will protect him and keep him alive,
         And he shall be called blessed upon the earth;
         And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.
    ³The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed;
         In his illness, You restore him to health.
    ⁴As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me;
         Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."
    ⁵My enemies speak evil against me,
         "When will he die, and his name perish?"
    ⁶And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood;
         His heart gathers wickedness to itself;
         When he goes outside, he tells it.
    ⁷All who hate me whisper together against me;
         Against me they devise my hurt, saying,
    ⁸"A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
         That when he lies down, he will not rise up again."
    ⁹Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
         Who ate my bread,
         Has lifted up his heel against me.
    ¹⁰But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up,
         That I may repay them.
    ¹¹By this I know that You are pleased with me,
         Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
    ¹²As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
         And You set me in Your presence forever.
    ¹³Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
         From everlasting to everlasting.
         Amen and Amen.
