Where to go from here? Then it hit me and it was seeing God in the unlikely place of relationships. Are the friends you have, keeping you from God or do they bring you closer to God? I used to work for a company and I started to talk the like the employee around me and It was a good friend who told me that it wasn't good that I remain at that company. I left not only because of that but for other reasons as well but the thing I talked about above is one of the main reasons I left. It was because I had Godly relationships with this person that God was there through this person to tell me to change jobs (course). The people you keep matters. If the people you keep smoke, do drugs, and drink you will do the same and be led to destruction.20 Keep company with the wise and you will become wise. If you make friends with stupid people, you will be ruined. Proverbs 13:20 GNT
In the verse above it talk about keeping good company and if you don't you will be ruined. I know this and believe this all my heart because I have gone through this. The company I keep has changed over time because my walk has evolved.
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 ESV
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 ESV
There are so many verses about the company you keep, this must be important. so as I put a pin in this for today I ask what kind of company do you keep and who do need to week out of your life so that you are not brought to ruin like the verse in proverbs say?
Have a do it, Lord, kind of day!!!!!
