Title: Good Companions.

-




"Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee." — Job 22:21

Devotion:  
Friendship has several advantages and blessings in life. "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow." — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10.  
Friendship can also bring severe disadvantages and misfortunes. "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" — 1 Corinthians 15:33.  
The kind of friends you have will determine whether you will enjoy blessings or curses. "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." — Proverbs 13:20.
  The opening scripture exhorts us to befriend God and be at peace with Him, and His goodness will become our inheritance. "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." — James 4:8.  
  The closer we are to God, the more glorious we will be. "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory." — 2 Corinthians 3:18.
  As children of God, let us choose friends who will bring us closer to God and godliness so that we can always enjoy the goodness of God. "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." — Proverbs 27:17.
  Who is your friend? Choose wisely today.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial.
