“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” Proverbs 13:20
For you to build your house on the rock, you
must not be alone neither should you have wrong people around you. The Bible
says woe unto him that is alone (Ecc 4:10). The people that surround you will
determine whether you will survive the challenges of life or not. More
importantly, if you have chosen your friends, you have chosen your future. In
our text, David knew that Uriah would survive the hottest battle if someone had
his back. So he wrote that he should be set in the hottest battle and Joab
should withdraw from him. If people have not withdrawn from Uriah, he would not
have been killed.
“Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes
of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served groves and
idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.” 2
Chronicles 24: 17-18
Joash served God when Johoiada was alive and was
his closest person. However, when he died and the princes of Judah took over,
they led Joash to do evil in the sight of God. Don’t be deceived, peer pressure
is not only with young people, but it also affects adults too.
If you have the right people around you, they will
lead you to please God and will also support you during challenging times. May
your life attract the right people and reject the wrong people in Jesus name.
Prayer for
today: I refuse to be alone in my journey in life, I call in destiny
helpers in Jesus name.
