CHOOSE
YOUR FRIENDS WITH UTMOST CARE
An
age old adage says “Birds of a feather flock together!” This truism is reflected everywhere within
our culture and society. However, we are
not only known by the company that we keep, we are immeasurably influenced (I
call it “soul-shaped”) by the
company that we keep. In the words of
King Solomon: “He that walks with wise men shall be wise:
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” (Proverbs 13:20)
On deeper levels than we might even imagine,
we are profoundly affected (physically, financially, ethically, emotionally and
spiritually) by our continual presence and interactions with others. There is a powerful mutual exchange (with definite
impact in time and eternity) that stems from our verbal and non-verbal
communications with significant others.
So you must apply extreme caution and prayer
to the selection of friends, companions, associates, business partners and
spouses. Consult God. The wisdom of His Word and the guidance of
His Spirit will guard and gauge your choices.
