You've Got a Friend (Photo credit: sirwiseowl)If I should say, “ My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.
Psalm 94:18
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Remember that classic Carol King song "You've Got A Friend"?
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
Some of us may have friends that are like that, but even those kinds of friends can sometimes let us down. God's lovingkindness is the model that we are to follow in our friendships with others. We may not always meet the demands of being the perfect friend, but it doesn't hurt to try.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
New International Version (NIV)
