You Will Suffer Both The Consequences And The Rewards Of Those Who Are Closest To You

“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.
