Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.”
TL;DR: In a world of social media followers and casual acquaintances, it is easy to mistake a wide social circle for real connection. True, lasting friendship runs deep, and the deepest friendship of all is with Jesus.
Some people surround themselves with lots of people. They have large social media followings and endless acquaintances. Hollywood celebrities come to mind. But depth of friendship is hard to come by when there are too many distractions pulling at your attention.
Your best friend sticks closer than a brother. Your best friend is with you always. Do you ever get so caught up in the noise of social media connections and casual acquaintances that you find yourself neglecting Jesus? It is an easy thing to let happen without even realizing it.
Personally, when it comes to quality relationships versus quantity, depth beats width every single time. A deep, meaningful friendship will sustain you in ways that a hundred shallow connections never could. That kind of closeness, the kind Proverbs is pointing to, is worth protecting and pursuing.
