Have you ever spent time with an angry friend and found yourself angry without really
understanding how you got there? Have you ever listened to an angry news reporter or an
angry podcast and found yourself angry about something that you had no knowledge of minutes before? The reason why we can find ourselves frustrated and angry without any connection to the issue is found in Proverbs 22:24 which says- “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.”
Spending your time with those who struggle to control their anger is a dangerous place to be. Before you know it you will find yourself fuming for reasons completely unknown to you. Be careful who you choose to spend your time with…
—those who are always sad won’t bring you joy
—those who are always confused won’t bring clarity
—those who are always lazy won’t bring a productive spirit.
—and those who are always angry won’t bring happiness.
Who you spend time with matters. I encourage you today to observe your circle and ask yourself what they are bringing to your life. Are you surrounding yourself with people who are helping you become more Christlike or more carnal?
