Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law
doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.Psalm
1:1-3
Do you
notice in passing, how people deteriorate in their relationship with God?
First, you have walking,
then you have standing,
then you have sitting.
First we walk with the sinners. Then we stand with them, and finally we sit
with them. We're one of them. One of the most important choices we make in
our daily walk is saying no to some relationships that are harmful to our
spiritual growth. To deny
these will form a cross in our life as we yield our will to chose for The Lord. To continue in them will cause
great harm spiritually. You will find it impossible to maintain your witness as you lose your communion with The Holy Spirit as you are walking outside the will of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
