Just Live Like It!

Amos 5:14-15 (The Message)

14.Seek good and not evil—
and live!
You talk about God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
being your best friend.
Well, live like it,
and maybe it will happen.

15.Hate evil and love good,
then work it out in the public square.
Maybe God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
will notice your remnant and be gracious.


Have you ever had a "best" friend? I am talking about one who loves and prays for you, but will also make you be accountable. A friend that you can talk to about anything, and they won't think you are awful or weird? I am so thankful that at different times in my life, the Lord has blessed me with such a person. I remember one time I called ______ about a crisis I had, it didn't take her but just a few minutes to get me back on track. I never took offense, I was just thankful she told me the truth. (The truth always sets us free). I remember another time in my life later on, when I could have made a wrong decision and it would have affected lots of people. She lovingly, but strongly got on my case and told me what I already knew in my heart. Thank God for friends that really love and pray for you. As you read the scriptures above meditate on the fact that Jesus is our best friend, He is always there for us and loves us like no one else can. A relationship is what Jesus desires from us, we must love Him and live like we do, seek good and then as it says "we will live".
Be encouraged in Him and have a blessed day Sister!
