“Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.”1 Corinthian 15:33
“But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.”1 Corinthian 5:11
These are pretty strong words, but they speak the truth. Life is too short to waste time with bad company. We need to seriously consider the people we allow to influence us as we become like the people we spend the most time with. We need to choose wisely as it is also considered a test of our stewardship.
The company we keep can shape the way we think, the way we speak, the way we act, our habits, our character and our destiny.
The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.
“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”Proverbs 27:17
