Good Friends

A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.  -Proverbs 12:26 (World English Bible)

We don't always end up with excellent outcomes due to the choices we've made. We don't get to choose how our life ends up when we're following the path of God. We don't get to choose the color of our eyes or even the family we're born into, but the one thing we can choose is our friends. There are few things we're in control over, and our human relationships are certainly one of those things. Thus, we should choose our circle of friends with wisdom and discretion. 

Good friends can stretch us beyond our limitations and help us to grow. Wrong friends will have the opposite effect. When you are surrounded by bad company, it will corrupt you and lead you astray if you don't disconnect yourself quickly. 

Be careful who you choose as friends and who you allow into your private space. Stay prayerful, and with God's leading, you and your friends will stay focused on God's promises together.
