Choose Your Friends Wisely

Sometimes, in order to embrace the destiny God has in store you have to be willing to make some changes in your life. You have to be willing to examine where you are and what you need in order to move forward. This may mean that you need to change some friends that you’re spending time with. The bible says, “Do not let anyone fool you. Bad people can make those who want to live good become bad.”

Maybe they were fine for a season in your life, but now you’ve outgrown them. This is a new season, and in order for you to rise higher you have to break away from relationships that are limiting you. You have to develop some new relationships with people who are going to pull you up and inspire you to rise higher.

This doesn’t just mean separating yourself from people who are holding you back spiritually. I’ve found that if you’re the smartest one in your group, your group is too small. Find people who will challenge you to stretch and grow to the next level; to help you become everything God’s created you to be.

The bible also says, “The person who walks with the wise becomes wise.” Choose your friends wisely and don’t be deceived. Surround yourself with people who will inspire you to rise higher so you can live in the fullness of blessing God has planned for you!
