“Be friends with those who are wise, and you will
become wise. Choose fools to be your friends, and you will have trouble.”
Proverbs 13:20 (Easy to read)
The information you feed your heart will determine
the fruit of your life. One major source of information is the people around
you. Primarily your parents and siblings. Secondarily and later in life your
friends, mentors, pastors and even colleagues. You cannot choose your parents
and siblings but you can choose your friends and the people you follow.
It is important for you to know that it is easy for
you to keep your heart when you are in the right company. Whoever you listen to
has direct access to your heart and consequently your life. It is easy for you
to change your life by changing the company of the people you keep. In Mathew
4:19-20, “Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you a different
kind of fishermen. You will bring in people, not fish.” Simon and Andrew
immediately left their nets and followed him.” When they changed company, they
ceased to be fisher of fishes but became fisher of men. Our text today says if
you keep bad friends, you will consequently have bad habits. If you are friend
with the wise you will be wise, and if you are friend with fools you will have
trouble.
Beloved, in order to keep your heart and be careful
about what you are thinking, you must choose right friends.
May you be in the company of people that will
influence you to serve God and fulfil your destiny in Jesus name.
Prayer for
today: Oh God let the wrong people leave my life and let the right people
come into my life in Jesus name.
