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 necessary. Sometimes friends are family members. Some-
times they're co-workers, or school-mates, 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 the
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 any human acquaintance, can meet 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 the God upholds
all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down {v.14}.
He gives food in due season and satisfies the desire of
every living thing {v 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,
hears the cry, and saves those who fear Him {v.19}. And He
preserves all who love Him {v 20}. God is the
ultimate "Friend". You can depend on Him!
Only God can fill the emptiness
in the human heart
