“But it was thou, a man mine equal, My guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, And walked unto the house of God in company.”
Psalm 55:13-14 KJV
David’s psalm written in heartbreak over a betrayal, “But it was you, my intimate friend—one like a brother to me. It was you, my adviser, the companion I walked with and worked with! We once had sweet fellowship with each other. We worshiped in unity as one, celebrating together with God’s people.” David is speaking of Ahithophel, who had once been his friend and advisor, only to betray him. This is a foreshadow of what happened between Jesus and Judas. This behaviour of betrayal will increase in the last days as Paul warned us, “that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. Jesus took every sin and nailed it to the Cross, including betrayal. Let’s keep ourselves from such people, spending more time in seeking God and His will for us on earth and doing that. Amen!
