The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 85
And behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them,’ then you are to come, for, as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.
1 Samuel 20:21
Real friends put action to their words. But we don’t need just real action, we need the right action. Here’s where friendships get real and deep, when we handle problems together. This isn’t just sympathy or empathy; this is problem solving and action. This is when friends help each other by creatively planning on how to solve a problem. This is going the extra step, helping each other to deal with an issue that threatens either one or both. Real friends stick around for the conversation, not just to catch the concern. The best friendships don’t walk away from the worry, but walk with each other through the work.
