“He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV)

JULY 4 - If you want to have a successful and purposeful life, you must relentlessly fight the constant pressure of negative people coming into your life, struggling as formidably as you would a thief leaping
past the threshold of your back door. You must Stop Them — IMMEDIATELY! The only way one can maintain a stable life is through pursuit and maintenance of right relationships. You cannot afford to get involved with the wrong types of people. As we see in the above passage, Solomon warned, “He who walks with wise
men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”

That word “destroyed” does not necessarily mean dead or absent from life. It describes the death of one’s purpose. The moment you or I move toward the direction of a wrong relationship is the moment our purpose begins to fade away like the moon at dawn.

• God knew Herod was a danger to His Son.
• God realized Herod was hazardous to His plan.
• God, therefore, refused to allow even the Wise Men to continue any further companionship with the treacherous king.

And that is why it is vital to qualify every person who comes into your life. Find those who are wise. Link yourself to their life. Serve them. Help them fulfill their dreams, and watch in amazement as God fulfills yours.

“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)

APRIL 6 - As noted yesterday, the single most important factor defining your future is the relationships you embrace. Your life is built by relationships. Relationships are like those red, illuminated buttons on an
elevator: some take you up, but many take you straight down. Some take you up fast, while others take you down even faster. Whether or not you recognize it, every relationship you have takes you somewhere. In fact, these influential relationships make you the person you are today.

A good olive tree could yield from ten to fifteen gallons of oil per year. An entire grove, therefore, had the potential to influence an entire village, caring for their daily needs. And several groves influenced nations—the oil having been shipped to nearby countries, as well as distant lands. So a good relationship with olive growers was vital for everyone concerned.

Be protective of the time you give to others. Don’t allow just anyone to be your friend. Those closest to you determine the outcome of your life. Associate with those who are going somewhere in life— those who are farther along than you are today. As you do this, you will soon walk into your divine destiny!

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You as iron sharpens iron, so I sharpen the countenance of my friends and they sharpen me.
