Check Your THEY

Written by Admin | Jul 10, 2022 5:00:00 AM

Read 

1 Corinthians 15:33, "Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for ‘bad company corrupts good character.’"  

 

Think 

Have you ever been guilty by association? Have you ever hung out with someone who had a bad rep, and people started assuming you were the same way? No matter how hard you try, spending most of your time with the wrong crowd will eventually impact the way you think and act.  

 

Finding the right THEY for your life is an important step in your walk with Jesus. Surround yourself with people who are:

  • Tough and Tender 
  • Honest 
  • Encouraging and Excited 
  • Yielded to God 

 

These people will speak light into your life and always help, not hinder, you in your walk with God.  

 

How do you find the right THEY? A great place to start is by consistently making church a priority. Find someone more experienced than you in their relationship with Christ and ask them questions about how to strengthen your faith in God. Be a friend to someone looking to make the same changes you are and be the right THEY for them. Searching for the right THEY is not always the easiest journey, but it is definitely the most healthy!  

 

Act 

Head over to the FC app and choose a class, group or volunteer team to join and get involved! Put yourself out there and start surrounding yourself with the right THEY.  

 

Pray 

God, as I go through the week, please show me the right THEY and the people I need to distance myself from. Give me the wisdom to build the right relationships. In Jesus' name, Amen.
