Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits 1 Cor. 15:33
Sometimes, in order to embrace the destiny God has in store, you have to be willing to make some changes in your life. You have to be willing to examine where you are and what you need to move forward. This may mean that you need to change some friends that you’re spending time with. Maybe they were fine for a season in your life, but now you’ve outgrown them. This is a new season, and in order for you to rise higher, you have to break away from relationships that are limiting your spiritual growth. You have to develop some new relationships with people who are going to pull you up and inspire you to rise higher.
And this doesn’t just mean separating yourself from people who are holding you back spiritually. Find people who are going in the direction God has called you to go- People who will challenge you to stretch to the next level and become everything God’s created you to be. Remember, he who walks with the wise becomes wise. Choose your friends wisely and don’t be deceived. Choose your friends wisely so you can walk and live in the destiny God has in store for you!
Pray this prayer
Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy. Thank You for the good plan You have for my life. Help me choose my friends and companions wisely so that I can continue to move forward in the destiny You have for me in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Love in His Grace, Pastor Joe
