Proverbs 27

Chapter 27
VS 6 “faithful are the wounds of a friend …”
Vs 10 “Do not forsake your own friend or your fathers friend…”
Vs 14 “He who blesses his friend with a loud voise rising early in the morning it will be counted a curse to him”
Vs 17 “As iron sharpens iron so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”
To have a faithful friend, what a blessing, even if that friend has to point out when you are wrong. It has been said to have a friend one must himself be friendly, or perhaps to have a friend you need to be there for that friend.
I can honestly say I do not get vs 14 unless it is saying do not wake you friend up early in the morning by yelling.
The best verse in my opinion is to have a friend that will challenge you, that will hold you accountable in every area of your life, one that encourages you to be better. I want to be this kind of friend and I desire to have this kind of friend to me.
