You must choose your friends wisely. They are like elevators. They will either take you up in life or they will take you down. Surround yourself with people who will inspire and invigorate you to greatness. Rub shoulders with those who have big dreams and a passion for life. Choose friends who encourage you and not discourage you. Hang around those who naturally use their words to build you up rather than to beat you up.

It takes a lifetime to build a great reputation; but, only a moment to ruin it. Therefore, let me encourage you to consider the words of the Apostle Paul, “Bad company corrupts good character.” People are like film they often develop into those they hang around. Understanding this important principle makes it imperative that you surround yourself with people who share in your convictions about life.

Always remember a true friend will never ask you to lower your standards or compromise your convictions. A true friend will support you in your desire to reach your goals and dreams. A great speaker once said, “Show me your friends and I will show you your future.” Therefore, you will be wise to associate with people who have a vision for life. Look for friends who are building a great future for themselves. Together you will complement each other and encourage one another to go further in life than you could have imagined on your own.

Questions to consider:

1.      What are some characteristics you should look for in a great friend?

2.      What are some characteristics of those you may want to avoid getting to close to?

I Just had the privilege of preaching all over the southern most parts of South Africa for the last three weeks. It is a very beautiful country with incredibly warm and friendly people. However, I was reminded in my South African journey how pluralistic the world's view is toward eternal things. While in SA, I spoke in an entirely populated Muslim school, ran into several Hindu's, observed a few Mormon's hard at work, ran into a few practicing Jews who are still waiting on the arrival of Messiah for the first time and spoke to many who were very religious but had no idea how to genuinely make peace with God and assure them a place in Heaven for all of eternity.

While reading this morning I was reminded, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man for which we are saved." Acts 4:12 Jesus is the answer. Jesus is the way to find peace for our hearts. He promises peace on the inside. A peace which enables us grow through the challenges we face in life. He is the only One who can give us power for daily living. His power is available to those who surrender to Him. His power enables us to turn our obstacles into opportunities. He offers His presence to those who receive Him. He promises never to abandon us. And most of all, He gives us the promise of eternal life.

Do you know His peace?

Do you experience His power daily?

Do you walk with His presence?

Most importantly, Do you know His promise of eternal life?
