Proverbs - Who are You Hanging With?


Proverbs 16:29-30

A violent man enticeth his neighbour,
and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:
moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Who we hang around with is very important.  If someone in our lives tends to lead us into the way that is not good, we had best not follow and seek better company.  This type of friend is called violent and they like to entice people to go in directions that are not good.  Many evil choices seem to beckon for companionship.  Going there alone is not always what someone wants to do.   Perhaps having someone along helps the people justify their actions and share the blame.  Stay sober and alert.  The enemy is seeking to devour you and often will try to use people around you. Ask the Lord to search your friendships and bring those who call upon Him out of pure heart into your life.  Don’t feel you owe anyone your submission.  Submit to God and follow Him!
