Proverbs 12:26 (NKJV) 26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray. 
    Recently a man in prison said, "The people I chose to hang with are the reason I committed the crimes I have. We would sit around and brag about what we had done, the more we talked the more crimes we did." A statement comes to mind, "Contamination by association," many confess they would not have been part of doing wrong had someone not coerced them. However, Jesus makes clear the heart of man is the seat of the problem. Matthew 15:11
    It is true "Bad company corrupts good morals," the choice to do right however, still belongs to you and me. To choose rightly we must know Right, His name is Jesus, He is waiting for you to trust Him with your life, choose Him today and you will have chosen your Friend carefully.
Heavenly Father help us to choose wisely, help us to discern right relationships, help I pray our hearts to obey and trust You in everything. Amen
