WHO YOU HANGING WITH?
Have you ever been around anyone who can't stop talking? You know the drill... pretty soon they're talking about someone behind their back and even betraying friends they hang with. Remember, when you listen to gossip, you are as guilty of betrayal as the one who is speaking. Run! That's a dangerous person to be around!
Prov 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
Prov 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.
Prov 11:13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
One of the most significant game-changers in life is the decision of who you will hang out with! You end up going in the same direction in life as the people you choose as your best friends! Make friends with people who are going great places and let the greatness that is on them rub off on you! The word of God is clear–if you want to soar with eagles, don't hang out with turkeys! Choose friends with wisdom, those who know enough to watch what they say and think before they talk. May God's wisdom be upon you today! Be strong... you can do it! Think about it…
