“Character” can be a tricky word to really define, but here’s one way to think about it: Character is your values in action.
For instance, you valuetelling the truth so you tell the truth. You know what? You just showed character!
Today’s verse tells us that there’s something in our lives that threatens our character. What is it? “Bad company.” Bad friends can make it tougher to put your values into action. If you value making wise choices and you hang with friends who are making unwise choices, it’s going to be tougher to make wise choices, right?
But the flipside of this verse is also true: Good company reinforces good character. In other words, hanging out with friends who make wise choices make it EASIER to make wise choices, too.
Who’s one person you need to start hanging out with MORE to reinforce your good character? Text them and make plans to hang out this week!
