Meditate On
The righteous
should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them
astray.
Proverbs 12:26
Get Into The Right Company
Whether you’re a
student or working adult, it’s so important to surround yourself with the right
people. Today’s verse tells us that the righteous, that’s you and I who are
righteous in Christ, should choose their friends carefully, because the wrong
friends can lead them astray.
If you hang out
with people who are always complaining and telling you why things you want to
see can’t be done, they will talk cynicism, doubt and fear into your heart.
They will discourage you and talk you out of your dreams and aspirations. The
wrong friends can even lure you into destructive habits and illegal activities.
So choose wisely
whom you hang out with. Trust the favor of God to give you Spirit- and
faith-filled friends who will lift you up when you’re down, give you godly
counsel and inspire you to accomplish your God-given dreams. Thank the Lord
that this provision is yours through His finished work—Jesus was “put far” from
His friends at the cross (Psalm 88:18), so that you could be blessed with many
good ones!
