⚠️ Scriptural Warning: “The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin.”
Do you know that often people surround themselves with those that would always say yes to them, people that would go along with whatever they do right or wrong, and they would call such people their friends? You may also be guilty of that. But the Bible: the word of God, gives a better understanding of the type of friends you need. Friendship is not about quantity; rather, it is the quality that matters the most:
“The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24 AMP)
“Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].” (Proverbs 27:5-6 AMP)
“Spend time with the wise, and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer.” (Proverbs 13:20 NCV)
“Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17 KJV)
