Mariam argued a point with a peer. Subsequently her friend sulked.
Mariam told the Rabbi, "I do not think that I am too popular with her at the moment, Lord."
Rabbi Jesus answered, "Because you do not see her as the supreme oracle."
Let us look to God and the Bible for our greatest inspiration. To have a friend is a blessing. However, the counsel of our Greatest Friend Jesus is the Rock upon which our spiritual house will never founder.
Jesus said: "Why do you call me, “Lord, Lord” and not do what I say?
‘Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and acts on them – I will show you what he is like. He is like the man who when he built his house dug, and dug deep, and laid the foundations on rock. When the river was in flood it bore down on that house but could not shake it, it was so well built. But the one who listens and does nothing is like the man who built his house on soil, with no foundations: as soon as the river bore down on it, it collapsed; and what a ruin that house became!’ (Luke 6:46-49)
