Proverbs 1:10-19
God warns young people to avoid
those running after their own gain by hurting others. Sharing a common purse
with the greedy is foolish – you’ll wind up with nothing. The prodigal son
found this out. So maintain proper boundaries, even with good friends, and stay
distant from Mr. Worldly wise. Bad company corrupts good character, so be
discerning. Think not just about when you get to be with your friends again.
Think about how you can pursue godliness WITH them. Do your friends generally
pursue the Lord, or a laugh? Lasting things or fleeting things? Do you, do
they, pursue service of others or the limelight for themselves? How are you
seeking the good of your companions?
