“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” – Proverbs 13:20
The people we surround ourselves with have a profound impact on our spiritual journey. Just as a phone signal can be affected by interference, our ability to hear God’s voice can be influenced by the voices we allow closest to us. It’s crucial to be intentional about who we permit to speak into our lives. This doesn’t mean isolating ourselves, but rather being wise about whose counsel we seek and whose influence we embrace. The friends we keep can either draw us closer to God or pull us away from His voice.
Reflection Question
Who are the key influences in your life, and are they helping you draw closer to God?
Quote
You’ve got to place a guard around those you allow to have a voice in your life.
Prayer
God, grant me wisdom in choosing my close relationships. Help me to build connections that strengthen my walk with You and enhance my ability to hear Your voice. Amen.
