An age-old adage says, “Birds of a feather flock
together!” This truism is reflected everywhere in our culture and
society. However, we are not only known by the company we keep, we
are immeasurably influenced (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 imagine, we are profoundly affected
(physically, materially, ethically, emotionally and spiritually) by our
continual presence and encounters
with
others. There is a powerful mutual exchange (with definite impact in
time and eternity) that rises from our verbal and non-verbal interactions with others.
So you and I must apply extreme caution and prayer to the selection
of friends, companions, associates, business partners and spouses. Wisdom
dictates that we consult God. The wisdom of His Word and the
guidance of His Spirit will guard and gauge our choices.
Enough said!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all
else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
