Devotion for the Week of October 29, 2007

Once in a while I get something via email that I want to share with others. I received this one from a good friend of mine with a teenage daughter.

"The doctor cured by hearing problem," one girl said to another.

"What did the doctor do?" her friend asked.

"She removed my Ipod!"

Once reason why this is funny is because it has some truth to it. But it also raises some questions as well.

Do we have our spiritual earphones on? A good way to find out is to ask yourself how long it has been since a friend confided in you.
How long has it been since you confided in a friend?
Have you closed yourself off from God?
Do you feel self-sufficient?

We all need our friends for mutual support. We all need God's forgiving love. So, let us remove our spiritual earphones and open our hearts and receive.

Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. (Proverbs 18:24)
