The Word of God in Psalm 1 teaches us that to be strong in Him we must not seek council from the unGodly. How many times have we listened to those who do not know God! If we are to be a strong tree planted by the waters of life, we must walk with those who know God. I’m not saying to throw away all your friend but, you are who you hang out with.

I remember going back from Mississippi to Dallas, we picked up a hitchhiker. It was raining and I felt sorry for him. I will never forget his words of advice. He was a seminary student who knew God. He said the first year of college he ran with a crowd of Christians who did not want to know God that much. He almost flunked out his first year. He made a decision the second year to only hang around people who really wanted to know God, his whole life changed! He said, you are who you hang around with!

I believe that, make the choice today and stick to it! Make your friends, who want to know Him. I’m not saying be so rigid, you always turn away a nonbeliever but, choose friend who have a true heart for Him.

As we travel this life, we should seek the council of the Godly. A couple days ago, I talked about meditating on His Word, Psalm 1 talks about meditating day and night! Lord, help us choose the right friends!

We need your Word an desire oh! God to be like a tree planted by Your living waters.

If we are, Your Word tells us, WE WILL BE BLESSED! Amen!!
