Atmosphere
Devotions:
The atmosphere that one finds oneself will determine your growth or even lack of growth. If you plant a flower garden in the middle of the desert where there is no water but harsh sun then you will get poor results. Plant it in the harsh Arctic will also produce no or little results. But plant it in the conditions favorable for the plants and you will have a success. Part of the atmosphere around us is made up in friends that we keep and socialize with and who we respect.
“He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Proverbs
NKJV
If you walk with prosperous men you will learn how to prosper but if you walk with poor men you will learn how to be poor. If you walk with godly men you will learn how to be godly if you associate with ungodly men you will learn the ways of ungodliness. Who our friends are determin where we will be in five years. Your friends will etiher impeded your growth or promote your growth, spiritually, mentally, financially, emotionally or physically. Choose your friends wisely because they have great influence on you.
“Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”” I Corinthians 15:33 NKJV
If you associate with people with lazy habits you will become lazy. If you associate with people on fire for God, you will become on fire for God. You do not judge people to condemn them but you do discern the way you want to go and make choices accordingly.
