CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WITH UTMOST CARE
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 influenced immeasurably (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 impact in time and
eternity) rising from our 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.
Sisters and brothers, be continually
blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON
COMING KING. Maranatha!
