Do not carry on with people who want to carry off what belongs to others.
Proverbs 1: 10-19
It is important that we remember this proverb in light of those who want to occupy our energy and passion these days. Always find out to whom or what your friends are rooted. Don't you become attached to anything that springs from a bad root.
Know who you are running with and know who you follow. If they don’t help you maintain or improve your character, or if you cannot in someway do the same for them, you probably need to consider other friends. “Don’t drop to their (lower) level. Let them come up to yours.” That was the spoken expectation we all received as children.
The unspoken expectation was far higher. God has his eye on you. We would hate for the pleasure and favor of the Lord to turn into displeasure and disfavor.
How will we conduct ourselves as Christian gentlemen or gentle ladies this day? How will me make sure we do not carry on with those who want to carry off what belongs to others?
