Years ago, I was hanging out with a guy who I thought was really smart. I learned a lot from his wisdom.
On this particular day, he was carrying a lot of anger and this was a problem. While hanging out with him, I watched how he dealt with his staff, friends, traffic, and all situations that would need his attention.
He was very strong and at times he was belligerent. He was “in the right” regarding the situations he was dealing with, he just wasn’t DEALING WITH THEM RIGHT.
Did you know that you can be right and STILL be wrong?
Make No Friendship With An Angry Man, and with a furious man do not go, lest you learn his ways. Proverbs 22:24-25
Faith Comes By Hearing… Romans 10:17
If you hear it enough you begin to believe it and store it in your mind and heart.
The Things That Come Out Of The Mouth Come From The Heart… Matthew 15:18
When I would come back to my office after being with this gentleman for a few days, I noticed that I BEGAN TAKING ON HIS PHILOSOPHIES AND ACTIONS. My staff members at the time were not having much fun at the office anymore and as the Bible clearly states, it’s very important who you hang around.
What’s in your heart will eventually come out, so be aware of the influences around you. Consider carefully who you spend the most time around, the things that you choose to listen to and what you are absorbing from your surroundings.
Show me your friends and I will show you your future.
