This past week we talked about how we can stand strong with the help of family and friends. It got me thinking today about what is a real friend. I began reading in Proverbs and it has a lot to say about friendship.
I read that Ben Franklin formed a support group of very brilliant people and
called it "My most ingenious friends" group. That group got together
and they would write papers and discuss them, discuss questions, help each
other in their careers & goals., They met every Friday night for 40 years.
Franklin was accomplishing things in his 80’s and 90’s. Why? He had a support
group that kept him growing.
Thomas Edison had a support group called "My mastermind alliance". He put people with a similar life mission together and that group in a six year period came up with over 300 patented inventions. They were averaging one minor invention every 6 weeks, and one major invention every 6 months.

David surrounded himself with his "mighty." Paul always had trusted people around him as he served the Lord. We all need trusted friends around us.
Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron
sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Are you the type of friend that helps others to be the best they can be? Do you have people around you that do the same?
Here are the texts for several days.
