The Company We Keep

Throughout our lifetime we will befriend, associate and be in relationships with many people. But the wisdom in all of it is to know to whom you’re keeping company with. Is it someone who makes you a better person or is it someone who is leading you in a path of unrighteousness?

My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. Proverbs 1:10

Here Solomon is rendering great wisdom! I believe what trips us up is we’re not aware of whom we are and this causes us to follow anything that sounds and looks good. When our faith in God’s Word is stable and secure, our spiritual antennas are able to discern the good, the bad and the intended (what lies beneath and not spoken). As I often say, God has given each of us purpose and because we have purpose, the enemy will send people to cause us to loose hope, change our course and to disrupt our focus.

Know them that labor among you. Discern and evaluate the relationships you currently have. Time is of the essence and we do not want to waste anymore time getting done what God has called us to do.

Your thoughts!
