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!
