S – One with many friends may be harmed, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother. 

Proverbs 18:24 CSB

O – Commentary:  

Some people who present themselves as “friends” are not. The wise see beyond pretense, discerning a real friend from false friends by how they act in adverse circumstances.

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – We all need people in our lives who are real, honest and committed.  These are few and hard to find.  When you do, they catalyze your growth and consistency in your lives.  Even Jesus had his twelve and one of them betrayed him.  But, the remaining eleven changed the world.

R – Heavenly Father, we give you all honor and glory today.  Help us develop those relationships that will come alongside us as we follow you.  These relationships are vital to our growth.  We need them to achieve what you called us to do.
