CHECK YOUR FRIENDS!
"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.
Proverbs 27:19
Your company will shape your conduct, your conduct will shape your character, and eventually your character will shape your destiny.
Count on it: you'll become like the company you keep! That's why the damage done by sexual sin can last so long. To you it may be just "a one night stand," but the truth is when you become "one" with another person you open yourself to the spirit that's at work within them. Listen, "Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? So is he who sleeps with another man's wife" (Pr 6:28-29 NIV)
On the other hand, a single conversation with the right person can turn your life around and get you moving in the right direction.
You need people who bring out the best in you and who challenge you to reach higher. People who see things from God's perspective and can speak His Word into your life because it's at work in their own. Your decision to rethink who you allow to get close to you today could be your turning point.
You see when you surround yourself with the right kind of people, you enter into a God-ordained agreement. Listen, "Two can accomplish...twice as much as one...the results can be much better...one standing alone can be attacked and defeated; but two can stand back-to-back and conquer" (Ecc4:9-12 TLB.) Today, take a look at your friends. They're a picture of who you are and where you're headed."
