Choosing Friends

Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Many parents have told their children to “choose your friends wisely”. In today's language they say “be careful who you hang out with”. Our verse today is saying the same thing. We need to be careful of whom we “walketh” with. They will effect our life for good or bad. We truly are known by the company we keep.

 

We should have a wide variety of acquaintances that we associate with to get a broad view of different ideas. BUT we don't need to “walketh” or live like them.

 

I have counciled wives that married a scoundrel with the idea of changing them. The only person changed was the wife.

I have learned thru time that the only person I can change is myself.

 

Christian friends, be careful of your friends; they do have an influence upon you.

 

God Bless;
