BE A FRIEND!
Sirach 6:1 (not in Protestant Bible)
Do not be an enemy instead of a friend;
For a bad name brings shame and disgrace,
And a double-tongued sinner is of such a kind.
Personal Challenge
Sirach, a book of wisdom not found in the Protestant Bible,
provides so many profound triuisms that can help to shape
our lives. This verse encourages us to be friends with the
people in our world and not enemies. This is so profoundly
needed in the culture of today that thrives on division and
anger. By being an enemy to those around us, which includes
being double-tongued, we end up bringing shame and disgrace
upon ourselves. Friendliness is a quality that lifts others up
and encourages all. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have
mercy on me the sinner!
