We often tell our kids and teens to be careful who they hang out with.
Ladies… this is also true for us!!
In our Bible study this past week we were talking about who you surround yourself with matters.
*Your marriage may be perfectly fine until you start hanging out with other ladies who are single or not happily married and constantly talk negatively about their husbands/men. Then you start questioning your own marriage.
*You may never have alcohol until you start hanging out with a group…and that’s what they do to have fun. Then the temptation is always there.
*You may be raising your kids in church and with biblical guidance and then start hanging out with others who let their children do their own thing, etc. Then you start questioning everything you are doing as a mom.
*You may be a joyful, positive, encouraging person until you start hanging out with Negative Nancy.
…. I could go on…and I think you get the idea.
My point is this. Who you hang out with matters. It’s so easy for us to get sucked into the lives and lifestyles of those around us. Your CLOSEST friends should be those that love Jesus and want to follow Him. Your friends should be those that help draw you closer to Christ and His Word and not pull you away.
WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH MATTERS!!
Are your friends helping or hurting you? Are there changes that need to be made??
Just something to think about. 🫶🏻
