We can talk to Him anywhere and at any time. He will diligently and expectantly listen to us. He has the deepest empathy for our concerns. If we take the time to notice, we will see Him steadfastly walking side by side with us all the time. He has sacrificed to give us everything we need. He is, and will always be, our best Friend.
God possesses all these qualities and more as our Friend. But we can’t just relegate our relationship with God to mere friendship. I Timothy 1:17 says, “To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” God is also sovereign over all the affairs of men. He maintains the unmatchable power and authority to execute His plans and purposes. He is rich in mercy and full of grace. He is righteousness and eternal.
Know that God is the Friend of those who love and fear Him. But never forget that He is also the King of ages, sovereign and divine.
