Psalm 41:9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Many of life’s challenges and problems come from unlikely sources. David lamented in the scripture above about the source of his troubles: friends who shared bread and ate with him. In the end, the one David considered a “friend” lifted their heel against him! This friend had become prideful and boastful and taken themselves to be too big when, in fact, they were nobodies. The worst betrayal a person can have is those you consider friends stabbing you in the back.
I have concluded that life is a blast with no friends. Some friends are enemies in waiting! Some will say he or she is my best friend, but two years later, they become your worst enemy! Examine your relations so that you can distinguish the ones that will stay with you through thick and thin. I pray for you today that God will give you discernment to quickly detect those people around you, whether they are there for a reason, which will make them stick with you, or for a season, so they leave quickly without causing injury to your destiny.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am surrounded by angels. Any pretence of the enemy masquerading as a friend will not survive! I am shielded in God’s grace; my life is secured in Christ!
