In Proverbs 26, 27, & 28, we learn the differences between living a foolish live verses living under the wise direction, counsel, and guidance of the Lord. Who we surround ourselves with through life matters because we start to become like the company we keep. We need to seek the Lord and His wisdom on who is to be allowed in our inner circles of life. People who pursue Jesus heart and soul belong in our inner circles. People who challenge and oppose God and His terms do not. Iron sharpens iron. We need to be humbly willing to receive correction and counsel from those inner circle people. We learn from each other, guide each other to Jesus, encourage each other, pray together, and worship together. Do life together as we run further and further into Jesus' mighty arms - together. This isn't a single person sprint, it's a group marathon - all for God's great glory.
