Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

Your walk may be strong, but it can always be stronger.
Your walk may be strong, but there is always possibility of straying.


Who and what you are surrounded by plays a big role in how you act and things you might do. The morals and actions of others can rub off on your own. It is really hard, in some situations, to not slip up. We are always fighting a spiritual battle and things will cross our paths that make us take our eyes of God and what we wants and get caught up in the worldly wants. The right now. The stronger you get in your relationship with God and the stronger your walk begins to get, the more obstacles you are going to have to cross. 

1 Peter 5:8 Keep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against you. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat.


1 Corinthians 10:13a You have never been tempted to sin in any different way than other people.




I definitely notice a difference between my actions depending on who I am around. I may talk a little different, act a little different, act a little more wild, or a little more mean. I have some people who keep me in line and keep me acting just like myself, but I also have people who I hang around where it is easier to give into worldly things and conform to the pattern of this world. 


one bad apple can ruin a bushel.


It's so simple for one person to affect your choices and decisions. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and take a look from the outside and see if maybe those are the people we need to begin to not spend as much time with. Maybe there are certain situations you shouldn't put yourself into if you know you can't handle them. Take some time today, like I have, and really think about how those you surround yourself  with impact your life. 




Surround yourself with those that will build you up and help you stay on the path.


Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
