| Godly Friends |

D: You know we try to help our son choose good friends, don¡¯t you?
V: Yes, because the friends he chooses will help him to form his character.
D: Or in the words of today¡¯s Power for Today author, one¡¯s choice of friends can ¡°speak volumes.¡± How can you say that in other words?
V: Well, a ¡°volume¡± is another word for book. So ¡°to speak volumes¡± means to tell several books¡¯ worth of things.
D: I see. He is saying that our selection of friends will tell a whole lot about who we are.
V: Exactly. The author says that the foolish action of King Jehoshaphat put him in ¡°affinity¡± with or made him resemble Ahab and Jezebel.
D: King Ahab was one of the worst kings of Israel, and his wife, Jezebel, was a wicked lady.
V: The author says that this connection with the family line of Ahab and Jezebel destroyed the ¡°seed of Judah.¡±
D: In this use, the word ¡°seed¡± refers to the future descendant from Judah.
V: I understand. It was because of the ungodly association with Ahab and Jezebel that the future hope of Jehoshaphat was destroyed.
D: Yes. That is why it is so important to carefully choose one¡¯s associations.
V: The author says that godly friends can help us in a number of ways.
D: One way is that godly friends will ¡°guard their tongues.¡±
V: That means that they will carefully select the words that they say.
D: Finally, the author says that we need to ¡°take a stand.¡±
V: In other words, we need to stand for what is right. Let¡¯s try it today. |
