Verse of the Day: Proverbs 12:26

The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

Choosing the right kind of friends is important because the company you keep can shape your character. Without even realizing it, you start to reflect the attitudes, habits, and even the beliefs of those around you. That’s why it’s so vital to surround yourself with people who not only uplift you but also draw you closer to God.

True friends should encourage you, inspire you, and strengthen your walk with Christ. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Your closest companions should sharpen your faith, not dull it. Do they pray for you? Do they remind you of God’s goodness? Do they encourage you to trust Him in all things?

Take a moment to reflect on your friendships. Ask God to surround you with people who reflect His love and be that kind of friend to others. Praise Him for the friendships that lead you closer to Him, and if needed, have the courage to step away from relationships that pull you away from His purpose. Let your friendships be a reflection of His grace, love, and truth.

“I Will Be Your Friend” by Amy Grant emphasizes commitment, encouragement, and being there for one another through life’s challenges, which reflects the importance of surrounding yourself with friends who bring out the best in you rather than leading you astray.
