Like no human can do, it brings me comfort in times of personal distress. It lights my path in the darkness and confusion of life and guides me forward in uncertain and perilous times. It is my comfort zone and is always faithful to me. It encourages, strengthens and supports me when no human can or will. This is no indictment of humans. It simply is not possible for a human to meet all of one&#8217;s personal needs; only the Word of Elohim can do that because its source is divine and behind it stands the Creator of the universe Who is always there, is all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful. With his Word comes his breath, power and anointing to transform lives. His Word points and leads to Him. Humans, despite their best efforts, will fail you, but the Word of Elohim is a faithful friend that will not let you down.<\/p>\n<p>Put your faith and trust in the Word of Elohim. Join me in getting to know this Friend and enjoy the indescribable blessings that will come from such relationship!<\/p>\n<p>Can anyone else relate to this too?<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'My Best Friend Can Be Yours Too',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2017\/05\/05\/my-best-friend\/',contentID: 'post-10772',suggestTags: 'The Bible,Word of Elohim',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Word of Elohim is like a best friend to me.
