MAY 4, Proverbs 1:10-15

There are friends who are good and friends who are bad. Some friends you have (and these could be good friends of yours), may have bad and foolish habits. They could be lazy and refuse to do their homework. They could be dishonest and take things that do not belong to them. They may use bad words. They may tease and bully the weak.

As a Christian, you must be careful when you choose friends. You can be friendly to everyone but not everyone can be your good friend. Do not get close with people who are troublemakers and have bad habits. These people will not help you to be what God wants you to be. Neither will they teach you to be honest and kind. Choose your friends carefully.

Draw your best friend.
Write down three of his or her good qualities or habits.

Thought: True friends are treasures, precious and rare.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me to choose my friends wisely and enable me to be a holy witness to them. I thank Thee for the best friend of all, Jesus Christ my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
