My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me. Psalm 101:6
Have you ever heard the saying, "If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas"? Associating with the wrong crowd has a great deal to do with who we become.
Any parent will tell you; there are certain friends you simply don't want around your children. But there's more to it than staying away from the troublemakers. It's about surrounding ourselves with others who seek righteousness. For the paths we walk alone tend to lead to the wrong destinations.
Lord, I have grown tired of the lonely paths. I have spent too much time scratching the fleas. Thank You for surrounding me with those who are seeking You. I am so blessed! Help me to keep my eyes on the faithful. Help me to honor You in all I do.
