RISE HIGHER
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20 (NIV)
Sometimes in order to embrace the destiny God has in store for you, you have to be willing to make some difficult changes in your life. You have to be willing to examine where you are, where God is taking you to and what you need to do in order to move forward. This may mean that you need to change some friends you are spending time with.
Maybe they were fine for a season in your life, but you have outgrown them. This is a new season and in order for you to rise higher, you have to break away from relationships that are limiting you. You have to develop some new friendships with people who are going to pull you up and inspire you to rise higher. If you used to hang around people who spoke negatively, profanely or cursed at every given opportunity before you became a Christian, your new state should compel you not to dwell in that kind of company again.
If you are the smartest one in your group, it probably means your group is too small. Find people who are smarter than you, people who will challenge you to stretch to the next level. Remember, he who walks with the wise becomes wise. Choose your friends wisely so that you can rise higher and walk in the destiny God has for you.
Prayer
Father God, I thank You for Your grace and mercy. Thank You for the good plan You have for my life. Help me choose my friends and companions wisely so that I can continue to move forward in my divine purpose. I am grateful for where you are taking me to in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
