#Day 56: 25 February 2016

BAD COMPANY

1 Corinthians 15:33 - Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals"

I went out with some of the awards winner last night after the event. Some when to clubs, some when to pubs, some when for selfies activities at this Lion city.

It's been a while since I so call "hang out" especially to pubs, bars or clubs. I do enjoy the crowds, live music or even the loudness of bass driven music.

I realized it is so much easier to be influence when you are in a group, when you are surrounded by several person doing the same thing, when you are in the company of common interests.

I found this is an affirmation of the devotion about "fellowship of the ...". The energy of fellowship can easily change or at least brings influence to how we perceives, influencing how we act.

Without focusing on the event itself, rather on the impact, I missed my devotion last night (and trying to catch up this morning while waiting for my flight).

As result of my own mistake for not walking in His path, I felt so tired this morning. It is a good example of something that I should not repeat in the future (and anyway, age is catching up!)

Psalm 1:1-4 "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away."

And btw, they are a group of great and kind people. My devition is not about the group being a bad company. My devotion is about how we can be easily influenced when we are not wise, when we are not living our lives in the law of the Lord.

So, choose wisely, surround yourself with people that have a common interest with you, the proper interest, in the path of the good.

"You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live positive life"

Another day full of blessing
