Proverbs 17:17 ‘A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity’
Solomon points out the value of a true friend and a brother. He says a true friend is always loving, and a brother helps in trying times. A true friend and genuine brother exhibit true love in unfavorable circumstances as well as in favorable ones.Interpreters debate the nuances of this verse. Some suggest Solomon means to make a contrast: “a friend…but a brother…” This would imply a difference between those who act as friends, and those who go even further in their friendship to be considered brothers. Others suggest the correct translation here should be “a brother is born [of / from] adversity.”
More so, you will know your real friends after you go through a difficult situation and everyone leaves you. If you see somebody there beside you, ready to support you, then he’s more than a brother. He’s a brother. Don’t judge a person loyalty until you go through a difficult circumstance.
Do not only pray to have good friends, but work to become a good friend. Try to become the type of person on whom they can count. Try to be a good friend. You will surely be disappointed, but do not wait for a reward coming from men, but from God.👯♀️
Prayer
Father in Heaven, I am grateful for this wonderful day. Lord change my heart and teach me loyalty and faithfulness for me to be a good friend. While you are building in me the character of a good friend, send on my way good friends that strengthen my faith and ease my way. Amen.
Amen💓
