Guard Your Heart from Bad Company

Continuing with attitude, we need to look at what influences our attitudes. Most often than not, it’s the people around us that tend to shape our attitudes. To change our attitude, we may need to change who we are letting influence us. The words of the people closest to us permeate our heart, which is the source of our attitude. So while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can guard what saturates our hearts. If we don’t, eventually, negativity will wear us out and leave us defeated. Don’t believe me? Watch the news for an hour and tell me how you feel... It will leave our hearts exposed and infused with everything other than Christ’s truth. God says, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Our inner circle of friends must be searching for Christ and His wisdom. This will help guard our hearts, and therefore our attitudes.Mama always said, “lay with dogs and you’re gonna get fleas...”. Grandmothers are always right. “Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."”1 Corinthians 15:33 Much Love,
